The chart above displays actual distiller’s dried grains with solubles (DDGS) imports for selected markets for calendar year 2011 against projections for DDGS imports by those markets in 2013. The third column shows the U.S. Grains Council’s internal calculations of the maximum potential demand for DDGS in those markets.

While actual DDGS trade will depend on price relationships in coming years, this chart illustrates the assessment of the U.S. Grains Council’s international staff that export markets still have untapped growth potential.
