About the Product

Corn (maize) is one of the oldest cereal crops and ranks second only to wheat in world grain trade. It is valued for high yields, cost-efficient production and a wide range of end uses.

There are seven subspecies of corn — sweet, flint, dent, floury, popcorn, waxy and pod corn — each divided into many varieties. The grain is rich in starch, B vitamins and vitamin K, and its protein contains essential amino acids.

Applications

Corn is a raw material for the food industry and a feed base for livestock. It is processed into flour, starch, oil, oilcake and alcohol, and is also used to produce fuel, biogas and electricity.

World Corn Market

Corn is one of the mainstays of global grain trade. According to the USDA (April 2025, 2024/25 season), the largest corn exporters are the USA, Brazil, Argentina and Ukraine. All four are among FUSHKOV GCG's origins, together with Russia, which gives flexibility in matching origin to destination. Buyers of bulk corn can choose the origin that best fits the season and the delivery route.

Storage and Transport

Corn quality in storage depends above all on moisture and cleanliness. Under GOST 13634-90, settlements are based on a basis moisture of 14.0%; wetter grain is normally dried before storage. Lots are stored separately by type and class, protected from moisture and pests, and grain temperature is monitored. When you buy corn in bulk, agree moisture and drying requirements in the specification from the outset.

How a Deal Works

A physical commodity trade typically moves through a set of standard stages. The outline below reflects general industry practice; the actual terms are always set by the contract.

1
Enquiry
The buyer sends an enquiry for corn: required quality parameters, indicative volume, destination and preferred delivery basis.
2
Offer and specification
The trader prepares an offer and agrees the specification with the counterparty: quality parameters and the methods used to test them.
3
Contract
The contract fixes the price, the Incoterms delivery basis, the shipment schedule, inspection procedure and payment terms. International deals typically use GAFTA (grain and feed) or FOSFA (oils, fats and oilseeds) standard contract forms.
4
Loading and inspection
As a rule, an independent surveyor draws samples at loading and certifies the quality and weight of the cargo.
5
Documents and payment
The buyer receives the full set of shipping documents; payment is made as agreed in the contract.

Typical Document Set

In international agricultural trade, the document set usually includes a commercial invoice, a bill of lading or other transport document, and certificates of origin, quality and weight. Plant products normally require a phytosanitary certificate, and feed products a veterinary certificate. The exact list depends on the product, the destination country and the contract terms.

Incoterms 2020 at a Glance

  • FCA — the seller hands the goods over to the carrier nominated by the buyer at an agreed place; suitable for any mode of transport.
  • FOB — the goods are delivered once loaded on board the buyer's vessel at the port of shipment; from that point the buyer bears the risk.
  • CFR — the seller pays freight to the port of destination, but risk passes to the buyer once the goods are on board at the port of shipment.
  • CIF — as CFR, but the seller also insures the cargo during the sea voyage.
  • DAP — the seller delivers the goods to the agreed destination, ready for unloading; suitable for any mode of transport.

FOB, CFR and CIF apply to sea and inland waterway transport only. This summary is general: the delivery basis is chosen for each deal and fixed in the contract.
