The FAO Cereal Price Index fell 3.5% in June 2026. Wheat prices dropped 4.4% due to rapid harvests in the Black Sea region, while maize fell 6% on ample South American supply and weaker ethanol demand. Rice prices rose 3.2% on strong Asian demand, limiting the overall index decline.

Amylase Price Trend H1 2026
Amylase, an enzyme that catalyses the breakdown of starch into fermentable sugars, remains a workhorse input across food processing, brewing, baking, textile sizing, starch conversion, bioethanol, and pharmaceutical applications. Because most commercial amylase is produced through microbial fermentation that leans heavily on corn and other starch-rich feedstocks, its price behaviour stays closely tethered to the feed grain complex and to downstream demand from the food and beverage sector.
Through the first half of 2026, amylase prices held a broadly firm to balanced footing. Carrying over the late-2025 recovery, feedstock costs stayed supportive as corn values remained underpinned by steady buying from feed and food processing channels, keeping enzyme makers' production economics on the firmer side. Operating rates were managed in line with offtake and supply stayed adequate without tipping into oversupply, limiting any pronounced softening. Asian material, anchored by Chinese producers, set the tone and traded range-bound, while European prices carried a modest premium on higher conversion costs and tighter oversight of food-grade enzymes, and North American prices moved in sympathy with feedstock and import dynamics. Sustained pull from bakery, confectionery, brewing, and starch saccharification kept consumption resilient.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, amylase prices through H1 2026 stayed sensitive to corn feedstock conditions and to downstream demand from food processing and industrial fermentation, and the market is expected to stay range-bound to firm as long as feed grain costs hold steady and end-use consumption stays balanced.

In 2025, the amylase prices in the Chinese region exhibited a mixed prices trend. The prices were mainly affected by the upstream market and demand trends for various end-use industries. In the first half of 2025, prices generally rose due to increases in feedstock costs. The prices of corn, a key feedstock for amylase production, rose during this period due to sustained buying interest from feed and food processing industries. This increase in input costs transmitted progressively through the production chain, supporting amylase prices across food processing, brewing, textile, and pharmaceutical applications. The sustained demand for amylase from starch processing and bioethanol production industries also contributed to the upward trend.
In the second half of 2025, amylase prices exhibited a more complex trend. The prices of feedstock declined slightly following a seasonal correction. Consequently, prices for amylase eased due to reduced pressure on feedstock prices. However, prices for amylase did not decline further due to sustained demand for amylase from food and beverage industries, including bakery, confectionery, and brewing industries. Toward the end of 2025, prices for amylase rose slightly following improved procurement activity and a rise in supply availability.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, amylase prices are expected to remain sensitive to feedstock market conditions and downstream demand trends from food processing and industrial fermentation sectors in the near term.

Amylase Production Processes
- Production of Amylase via Microorganisms
In industrial sectors and scientific research, microorganisms like bacteria, fungi, and yeast are widely used for the production of Amylase. The level of amylase production varies from one microbe to other and it differs depending on the microbe’s origin. Factors like pH, carbon and nitrogen sources and temperature, are crucial in determining the rate of amylase production, especially in fermentation processes.
