Serbia, which exported 2.3 million metric tons of corn in 2011-12, may need to import more of the grain than usual this year to ensure food safety as a fungus contamination spreads from corn to milk.
Serbia’s corn exports are seen falling 83 percent year-on-year to 400,000 tons of corn in 2012-13, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Its imports are seen rising to 50,000 tons in 2012-13 from 2,000 tons in the year-earlier period.
