“Possible shortfall in sweet corn availability due to the insufficiency of rain”

by

Insufficient rain has fallen in India according to Samir Singh, a business promoter for Indian fresh exporter Mersel Foods. Samir Singh says this may cause supply problems with sweet corn, in comparison to the last year’s season “Sweetcorn can be grown all season in a variety of states across India. In Maharashtra the state where our firm is based, the season of peak production commences in mid-August and lasts till the end of April. The primary types of sweet corn that are grown in Maharashtra include Sugar 75 and Mithas. The season has not been easy this year, because there hasn’t been enough rainfalls thus far in the regions that grow corn Maharashtra. When we look at the current monsoon, there could there will be shortages of supplies as compared to last season.”

Alongside the challenges caused due to the weather the sweet corn farmers have also been struggling in terms of costs, which are rising dramatically, Singh explains. “There were a number of issues with regard to cultivating sweet corn. In the beginning, we’re facing an unpredictable weather pattern and dry monsoon that caused a drought circumstance in some areas of cultivation. In addition cost increases for agricultural inputs like fertilizers and pesticides make it more difficult for the farmers to keep track of the costs of cultivation.”

Since there’s not a huge supply of sweet corn during this time so the price may rise, Singh states: “As this season just started We’re hoping to have a successful season even if rain falls during the final phase of monsoon. The product we sell is popular in EU nations, and in actual it is highly sought-after by some countries due to its hue as well as its sweetness and flavor. Its scarcity this time of year could result in an increase in price soon however.”

“We make sweetcorn by the retort technique, which permits us to keep flavor, freshness and nutritional qualities, while also extending shelf-life of the product up to 18 months, without the use of preservers. It’s a great food item that is healthy and ready to consume and is often eaten in its grilled form, and in other food items,” Singh concludes.
