Abstract
Corn is the second most important crop in the Philippines in terms of total area planted and overall value next only to rice. Yellow corn is the most important corn type in the Philippines, and is primarily used as feed especially for poultry and swine. In 2003, more than 844 885 ha of agricultural land in the Philippines were planted to yellow corn.
