The United States recorded its highest ever monthly exports of distiller\u2019s dried grain with solubles (DDGS) in July, bringing the total U.S. DDGS exported this marketing year to 7.2 million metric tons, a 48 percent increase over the same time period last year.<\/p>\n

Behind this market expansion are U.S. Grains Council educational seminars and feeding trials, complimented by consistent end-user contact and support. In emerging markets around the world, the Council continues to work to expand the market for U.S. DDGS. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe Council has been instrumental in educating the global marketplace on the nutritional benefits of DDGS,\u201d said USGC Manger of Global Trade Alvaro Cordero. <\/p>\n

The Council is committed to expanding markets for U.S. DDGS even further, having allocated more than $1.8 million for the development of the U.S. DDGS market worldwide. Programs include feeding trials<\/a> in Southeast Mexico, seminars and meetings<\/a> in Southeast Asia, and removing trade barrier<\/a>s<\/a> for DDGS in Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
