In my presentation I will be discussing introducing maize as a new crop into an irrigated production system. Points to be discussed will include capital cost with both, machinery and land development, weaknesses and strengths of maize production and the maize industry on a whole with a particular focus on storage and logistics. Practicality of introducing maize into an irrigation cropping system and what to consider when looking to grow maize of any type.
Other points to be touched on will include future marketing options and market alliances with both domestic consumers and exporters.
