Corn
Corn is mainly used for growing poultry and cattle. Silages are produced by fermenting stalks of green corns.

Traditionally, alcohol that is produced from maize is the source of bourbon whiskey …
Nowadays, the volume of harvest corn in Vietnam only meets 50% of domestic demand, about 50% of remaining part is imported. Therefore, whenever the domestic price increases, foreign corn is imported to replace domestic corn ,and in return, when domestic corn price decreases lower than the world market, the factory will enhance the consumption by domestic sources.
