While the Indian poultry industry has been growing annually by more than 15 percent, fueled by growing consumer demand, growth has slowed in the past six months due to rising prices. Many small farmers cannot survive the high cost of inputs and volatility of the live poultry markets. This is a potential opportunity, and in recent months, the U.S. Grains Council has been taking steps to increase collaboration between the United States and India, work closely with end-users, and partner with other companies in the value chain, in hopes that consistent engagement will increase coarse grain demand in the region and encourage better market access.

By Cary Sifferath, U.S. Grains Council Regional Director for the Middle East and AfricaThe U.S. Grains Council welcomed a team of Moroccan corn and distiller's dried grains with solubles (DDGS) importers to the United States last week. The team was composed of customers of CasaGrains, the leading importer of DDGS in Morocco, and also included their general manager, Ahmed Chermati. Their first stop was to Iowa, where they got a first-hand look at the current corn and DDGS supply. Thanks to the Iowa Corn Promotion Board, the team was also able to meet with farmer Dick Gallagher, who provided the team a unique opportunity to understand the hard work of U.S. farmers in securing market supply, even in extreme weather conditions.
