Crop Diversification How much water does corn require, and how much do soybeans need? Experts suggest corn requires 500-800 millimeters and that the crop needs limited water at least three times during the crop season. These periods of hydration need to occur at the time of sowing, within 20-40 days of sowing and within 45-60 days of sowing. Soybeans require about the same amount of water. Paddy, however, requires 900-2,500 millimeters of water during its crop cycle and must be submerged in at least 30-100 millimeters at different times. Water use efficiency (WUE) for paddy is 3.7 per millimeter of water when productivity is 4.5 MMT, whereas WUE for corn is 8 per millimeter of water when productivity is 5 MMT.The government of India (GOI...

From WPI Consulting
Weighing in on strategic realignment
WPI’s team was retained by the governing board of a U.S. industry organization to review a decision, reached by vote, to invest significant assets into the development and management of an export trading company. WPI’s team conducted a formal review of this decision and concluded that the current level of market saturation would limit the benefits of the investment. Based on WPI’s analysis and recommended actions, the board subsequently reversed its decision and undertook a strategic planning effort to identify more impactful investments. On behalf of numerous clients, WPI has not only assisted in identifying strategic paths but also advised their implementation.
