Grain maize and corn-cob-mix by area, production and humidity

Grain maize and corn-cob-mix include maize harvested for grain, as seed or as corn-cob-mix. It includes grain maize harvested by hand, corn-picker, corn-sheller or combine harvester, regardless of the use, including grain for silage, and also grain harvested together with parts of the cob, but with humidity higher than 20% and used for silage (so called corn-cob-mix, CCM – humidity 30-35%). Maize harvested green for fodder or for energy use and sweet maize are excluded. The concepts of "area under cultivation" and "harvested production" apply. In order to facilitate the comparisons of production figures between the Members States the figures have been converted from national humidity degrees into the standard EU humidity (14%).
