Corn sweeteners lift demand and push corn prices higher
The Agriculture Department links rising corn prices to strong demand for sweeteners from wet milling and HFCS. A skimpy harvest and high sugar prices push exports up, with 1981 wet-milling use projected above 500 million bushels. Per capita HFCS intake rises, surpassing glucose syrup for the first time, while the 6.46 billion bushel 1980 crop keeps prices elevated.
