According to some preliminary data, the production of corn in the USA in 2017\/2018 MY was 371.1 Mt (34.5% of the global production), the average yield was 11.1 t\/ha. In other countries, the production of corn in 2017\/2018 MY was the following: China \u2013 about 259 Mt, Brazil \u2013 82 Mt, the EU \u2013 62 Mt, Argentina \u2013 32 Mt, India \u2013 29 Mt, Mexico \u2013 27.5 Mt and Ukraine \u2013 24 Mt (the 7<sup>th<\/sup> place in the world).
