Mais is the German word for 'corn'. It refers to a cereal grain that is widely cultivated and consumed as a staple food in many parts of the world.
In Germany, Mais is primarily grown for animal feed and bioenergy production. However, it is also used in human food products such as cornflakes, popcorn, and cornmeal.
The cultivation of Mais in Germany has increased significantly over the years due to its versatility, high yield potential, and adaptability to different climatic conditions.
