In the coming days a ship load of 40,000 tons will be corn French on the way to Egypt. That is equally remarkable in two respects: a the last French corn crop was very small so imported large amounts of maize in the EU. And on the other hand, it is the first shipment of corn from France for Egypt for at least 16 years.
The shipping charge list of the port in Bordeaux has the loading for this week.
France is the largest maize producer in the EU. The crop is consumed but generally in the EU. France can keep up with the other suppliers in the world market, such as the Ukraine, Brazil or the United States in the competition.
The last shipment of maize in this magnitude from France for Egypt was made in the year 2000, the documentation of customs authorities confirm that.
