By Adel Yusupov, U.S. Grains Council Regional Director for Southeast AsiaUsage of U.S. distiller's dried grains with solubles (DDGS) in the Philippines has increased over the years; during 2012 the Philippines imported 164, 526 metric tons, up 12.75 percent from 2011. But there remains potential for growth, and the U.S. Grains Council is continuing to promote U.S. DDGS usage in various regions throughout the country.
This month, USGC consultant Adrian Morales travelled throughout the North Luzon region of the Philippines, promoting the use of corn gluten meal as well as DDGS.

The North Luzon region is a relatively undeveloped market.
