Corn Price
The world's most-produced grain by volume, used for animal feed, human food, and industrial products including ethanol. The US, China and Brazil dominate production, with the US also the largest exporter. Prices move with US planting and harvest conditions, ethanol demand, and competition with soybeans for the same farmland.
Latest US daily cash price (USDA AMS, averaged across reporting states): $4.51/bu on 2026-07-15.
Latest World price (2025-12): -16% vs. the 5-year average, +1% vs. the 10-year average, +2% vs. a year ago.
Right now, 1 t of corn buys about 0.52 t of urea — World benchmark prices, 2025-12.
Price Chart
"World" is the global benchmark price (World Bank Pink Sheet, monthly since 1960, where available). EU country options are Eurostat producer prices (annual); Canadian province options are Statistics Canada producer prices (monthly); US state options are USDA AMS daily cash grain bids (individual elevators/trade locations averaged per state per day), "United States" alone is USDA NASS's monthly national figure. "EU-27 (average)", "Canada (average)" and "US daily average" are simple, unweighted means across whichever member states/provinces/US states reported a price that period, computed by agri.markets — none of these sources publishes an official aggregate for this data, so these are not production-weighted figures. Currency conversion uses monthly ECB reference rates since 1999 (some currencies joined later) — for comparison, not precise historical FX accounting. "Bushel" uses the USDA/CBOT standard test weight for corn (25.40 kg) — bushels are a fixed weight that differs per grain, not a fixed volume.
