Corn

Ballıpınar Agriculture – Quality and Trust in Corn Production

Corn is one of the most important grains cultivated for thousands of years. Originally native to the Americas, it spread across the world from there. Reaching Istanbul through Syria in the 1600s, corn became known among the people as “Egyptian wheat” or “Egyptian millet.” Since it was introduced to Europe by the Ottoman Empire, in many European languages corn is still referred to as “Turkish wheat.”

Today, thanks to its ability to grow in temperate and tropical climates, corn is produced in nearly every country in the world. At Ballıpınar Agriculture, we cultivate the highest-quality corn varieties on the fertile lands of Afyon, contributing to both the food and feed industries.

Corn Farming and Productivity

Corn productivity varies depending on a country’s climate conditions and the variety cultivated. While some countries harvest 50–60 kg per decare, other regions achieve over 1 ton per decare.

  • Modern farming techniques
