White Corn

White corn is a native variety adapted to temperate climates between 1,500 and 2,500 meters above sea level. With a 180-day growth cycle and yields of up to 6 tons per hectare, it’s a staple in foods like tortillas and tamales, and is also used as forage. Sustainable practices are essential to preserve its quality and productivity — a crop that combines tradition, nutrition, and local value.

Yellow Corn

With yields that can exceed 7 tons per hectare, yellow corn is essential in the food and livestock industries. Adapted to tropical and subtropical climates, it's used in flours, concentrates, starches, and as a base for animal feed. Its color and carotenoid content add nutritional value — a profitable, versatile, and always in-demand option.
