Farmers and policymakers are interested in the level of counter-cyclical payments (CCPs) provided by the 2008 Farm Act to producers of selected commodities. CCPs are based on the season-average price received by farmers. (For more information on CCPs, see the ERS 2008 Farm Bill Side-By-Side, Title I: Commodity Programs.)

This data product provides three Excel spreadsheet models that use futures prices to forecast the U.S. season-average price received and the implied CCP for three major field crops (corn, soybeans, and wheat). Users can view the model forecasts or create their own forecast by inserting different values for futures prices, basis values, or marketing weights. Example computations and data are provided on the Documentation page.

Spreadsheet Models

For each of the three major U.S. field crops, the Excel spreadsheet model computes a forecast for:

1. the national-level season-average price received by farmers and
2. the implied counter-cyclical payment rate.

Note: the model forecasts are not official USDA forecasts. See USDA's World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates for official USDA season-average price forecasts. See USDA's Farm Service Agency information for official USDA CCP rates.This record was taken from the USDA Enterprise Data Inventory that feeds into the https://data.gov catalog.

Corn Market Outlook

According to our latest research, the global corn market size reached USD 265.4 billion in 2024, reflecting robust demand across food, feed, and industrial applications. The market is projected to expand at a CAGR of 4.3% from 2025 to 2033, culminating in a forecasted market size of USD 382.6 billion by 2033. This impressive growth trajectory is primarily fueled by rising population, increasing demand for animal protein, and expanding biofuel production, positioning corn as a cornerstone commodity in the global agri-food and industrial sectors.

Several pivotal factors contribute to the dynamic expansion of the corn market. Firstly, escalating global population and urbanization trends are significantly increasing the demand for staple foods, processed food products, and animal protein, all of which rely heavily on corn either as a direct food ingredient or as animal feed. Corn’s versatility as a source of carbohydrates, fiber, and essential nutrients makes it a preferred choice for food manufacturers and consumers alike. Additionally, the rising trend of convenience foods and ready-to-eat meals, particularly in emerging economies, is further propelling the demand for various corn-based products such as corn flour, corn syrup, and snacks, thereby amplifying market growth.

Another key growth driver is the expanding use of corn in the production of biofuels, especially ethanol. As governments worldwide prioritize cleaner, renewable energy sources to mitigate climate change, corn-based ethanol has gained prominence as a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. The United States, Brazil, and China are leading the adoption of corn-derived biofuels, bolstering both domestic and international demand. Furthermore, advancements in agricultural biotechnology, such as genetically modified (GM) corn varieties with higher yields and resistance to pests and diseases, have enhanced productivity and supply stability, supporting sustained market expansion. These innovations not only increase farm profitability but also help meet the growing global appetite for corn.

Moreover, the corn market benefits from its critical role in the animal feed industry. As the global middle class expands and dietary patterns shift towards higher meat and dairy consumption, the demand for livestock feed has surged. Corn, being a primary feed grain due to its high energy content and digestibility, is indispensable for poultry, swine, and cattle farming. This trend is particularly pronounced in Asia Pacific and Latin America, where rapid economic development and urbanization are transforming dietary habits. In addition, the industrial sector’s use of corn in producing starch, sweeteners, and biodegradable plastics is further diversifying the market’s growth avenues, ensuring corn’s relevance across multiple value chains.

Regionally, North America dominates the corn market owing to its vast arable land, advanced farming techniques, and well-established supply chains. The United States, in particular, is the world’s largest producer and exporter of corn, accounting for a significant share of global output. However, Asia Pacific is emerging as the fastest-growing region, driven by rising food demand, expanding livestock industries, and increasing investments in agricultural infrastructure. Latin America, led by Brazil and Argentina, is also witnessing substantial growth due to favorable climatic conditions and government support for export-oriented agriculture. Europe and the Middle East & Africa, while smaller in market share, are experiencing steady growth as well, supported by food security initiatives and technological advancements in farming.

Product Type Analysis

The corn market is segmented by product type into sweet corn, dent corn, flint corn, popcorn, flour corn, and others, each catering to distinct consumer and industrial needs. Dent corn dominates the segment, primarily due to its extensive use in animal feed, industrial processing, and ethanol production. Its high starch content and adaptability to various agro-climatic conditions make it the preferred choice among large-scale producers, particularly in North America and Latin America. Sweet corn, on the other hand, enjoys popularity in the food and beverages sector, especially in processed and canned food products, salads, and snacks. Its appeal lies in its tender kernels and natural sweetness, making it a staple in both fresh and processed forms across North America, E

The global corn market reached a volume of 1183.43 MMT in 2024. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 1.10% between 2025 and 2034, to reach a volume of around 1320.24 MMT by 2034.

In recent years, the US corn farming industry has experienced volatile revenue largely driven by changes in corn prices, production levels and crop yields. Early in the current period, up through 2022, corn prices saw a significant increase, which resulted in considerable revenue growth for farmers. This increase was fueled by high demand for biofuels and animal feeds and limited global supplies. However, as production ramps up both domestically and internationally, the industry has begun to feel downward pressure on corn prices. Record yields have led to oversupply, driving prices downward and increasing market competition. While sectors like livestock agriculture and industrial production have supported demand, the surplus has outpaced consumption and kept prices lower, causing challenges for farmers trying to maintain profit as fertilizer and seed prices stay high. Industry revenue has grown at a CAGR of 1.9% to reach an estimated $66.9 billion after a decrease of 5.6% in 2025. On the international front, the US corn export market has demonstrated resilience despite reduced demand from China, driven by geopolitical tensions and China's shift toward agricultural self-sufficiency. Retaliatory tariffs have further strained this trade relationship, while increased corn production from South America has intensified global competition, impacting US market share. However, the Russia-Ukraine conflict has disrupted Ukrainian corn supplies, leading many countries to turn to the US as an alternative source. This shift has bolstered exports to Asian and Latin American markets, mitigating the decline from China. Reduced domestic demand for products like high fructose corn syrup due to health concerns has made international trade increasingly vital for balancing the US corn market. Corn prices will remain volatile in the coming years, influenced by fluctuating crude oil prices that impact ethanol production and growing international competition. Policy changes, such as ethanol mandates and evolving trade agreements, will reshape international demand, offering growth opportunities abroad if US farmers can adapt to new biofuel and market needs. Climate change is a significant concern, threatening yields due to heat stress and shifting precipitation and insect population patterns. To protect productivity, farmers will have to invest more in fertilizers, pesticides, irrigation technologies and drought-tolerant crops. Industry revenue is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 0.7% to reach $69.1 billion in 2030.
