Research on corn production efficiency and influencing factors of typical farms: Based on data from 12 corn-producing countries from 2012 to 2019.

Globally, corn is characterised by high production and high export concentrations, yet the world is experiencing an unprecedented, huge change in this regard. Ensuring the global supply of corn, and thereby the energy and food security of nations has become particularly important. To understand the...
