View PricingDenmark's market for maize (green) is characterized by significant import reliance and a smaller export trade. From 2020 to 2024, the country sourced most of its imports from the Netherlands, which accounted for nearly half of import value, with Italy and Sweden as other key suppliers. Denmark's own exports were directed primarily to neighboring Nordic markets, with Sweden, Norway, and Iceland together constituting over 80% of export value. A notable price surge occurred in 2024, with the average export price rising sharply by 95% to $3,390 per ton, while the average import price increased by 9.4% to $3,851 per ton. The global market is dominated by the United States in both consumption and production.
Globally, the United States is the leading consumer and producer of maize (green). U.S. consumption, at 3.1 million tons, represents 24% of the global total and is four times greater than that of the second-largest consumer, Greece. In production, the United States, with 2.8 million tons, holds a 21% share, producing double the volume of the second-largest producer, Mexico. China ranks third in global production. For Denmark, this global context frames a trade environment where it is a net importer, with its import supply chain heavily concentrated on European partners.
Denmark's import market for maize (green) is led by the Netherlands, which supplied 49% of total import value. Italy was the second-largest supplier with a 20% share, followed by Sweden with 11%. On the export side, Denmark's shipments were concentrated in the Nordic region. Sweden was the largest destination, followed by Norway and Iceland; these three countries together accounted for 82% of Denmark's total export value.
Price dynamics showed significant movement in 2024. The average export price reached $3,390 per ton, marking a 95% increase from the previous year. Despite this recent spike, the overall trend for export prices over the period showed a mild decline, remaining below the peak level of 2018. Conversely, the average import price rose by 9.4% in 2024 to $3,851 per ton. This import price has shown a longer-term upward trajectory, increasing at an average annual rate of 2.2% over a twelve-year period and reaching a record high in 2024.
The market for maize (green) in Denmark is expected to evolve within the broader global and European trade frameworks. The record-high import price in 2024 and its historical pattern of gradual growth suggest that import costs are likely to see continued, though potentially moderated, increases in the coming years. The sharp, single-year surge in export prices may normalize, but underlying trends will be influenced by global production levels, demand in key Nordic export markets, and regional supply chain dynamics. Denmark's trade flows are anticipated to remain oriented towards its established partners, with the Netherlands maintaining a dominant role in imports and Nordic countries being the primary export destinations. The market will continue to be shaped by the production and consumption patterns of major global players like the United States, Mexico, and China.
