Millet Maize DDGS Ethanol Int- In the face of escalating climate uncertainties, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions, agricultural resilience is becoming a central concern for scientists, farmers, and policymakers alike. A recent study published in npj Sustainable Agriculture sheds critical light on innovative strategies to enhance the adaptability of maize cultivation in drylands, where climate risks such as drought and temperature extremes threaten both yield and food security. The work by Tsubo and Moeletsi offers a nuanced exploration of cultivar adoption as a pivotal adaptation mechanism, unveiling both the potential and complexity involved in sustaining maize production under increasingly hostile environmental conditions.

Millet Maize DDGS Ethanol Int- Last week, American commerce secretary Howard Lutnick asserted that India should buy corn (maize) from the US. If India makes a move similar to its cotton strategy for corn by removing tariffs, it may have a mixed impact, changing the entire dynamics for farmers and industry.In the last couple of years, a major demand from the ethanol industry led to a jump in maize prices. There are fears that imports may bring the rates that farmers fetch back to earlier levels. The question of allowing US imports comes at a time farmers in Vidarbha have begun seeing it as an alternative to cotton or soyabean, which have traditionally fetched low rates.
