Description

Maize, also known as corn, is an important crop in Africa, and there are several different types of maize grown in the continent, including yellow and white varieties.

Yellow maize is the most commonly grown type of maize in Africa. It is widely used for human consumption and animal feed. It is rich in carotenoids, which are important for human health, and also provides a good source of energy and protein for livestock.

White maize, on the other hand, is less common in Africa but still an important crop. It is mainly used for human consumption and is often processed into maize flour, which is used to make a variety of staple foods such as maize meal, porridge, and bread.
