This year is guaranteed to be another big year, with China having outstanding sales and accumulated exports of more than 4.8 million tons (189 million bushels) as of Jan. 8, 2015, for the 2014\/2015 marketing year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChina\u2019s demand for coarse grains is significant,\u201d said Bryan Lohmar, USGC director in China. \u201cThe Council and the U.S. sorghum industry have worked hard for three years to introduce sorghum as a new option for China\u2019s producers. This program has begun to yield very impressive results, and we expect China to remain a robust market for U.S. sorghum in the future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/grains.org\/sites\/default\/files\/China%20RoadShow_0.JPG\" alt=\"China road show\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" style=\"float: right; margin: 3px;\">The Council-led team met this week with swine and poultry producers, representatives of the feed industry and traders to discuss the U.S. sorghum supply, demand and pricing situations and the optimal use of sorghum in livestock rations. The team also presented half-day seminars in Guangzhou and Nanning to more than 200 Chinese nutritionists and livestock producers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a team effort between the Council, the United Sorghum Checkoff Program and Texas Grain Sorghum Association,\u201d said Alvaro Cordero, USGC manager of global trade and USGC\u2019s staff lead on sorghum export programs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have worked hard for more than three years to put sorghum on the map in China and the growth we have seen is a direct result of these efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mexico and Japan are the traditional top destinations for sorghum and remain significant markets in which the Council is working with users of the grain. With an abundant corn and distiller\u2019s dried grains with solubles (DDGS) supply, and a sorghum industry eager to expand production and exports, the United States is well positioned to meet rising demand in all markets.<\/p>\n<p>Click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/usgc\/sets\/72157647968183593\/\" target=\"_self\">here<\/a> to view more photos from this mission.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>China\u2019s surging imports of U.S. sorghum is one of 2014\u2019s top trade success stories, and a U.S. Grains Council (USGC) team is visiting China this week to help sustain that momentum in 2015.
