The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of aflatoxins in maize, and their safety and economic impact. As our country is among the largest exporters of corn, the consequences which infected corn leaves certainly are not negligible. Monitoring implementation is the only solution that will stop and prevent further aflatoxins contamination. In this paper, 44 commercial maize samples were analyzed for aflatoxins presence. It was found that 63.6% of samples infected. The level of aflatoxins in infected samples ranged from 5-367 ppb, while the average value of 74.5 ppb, with a standard deviation of 79.5.
