Dried distillers grains exports grow

U.S. exports of distiller’s dried grains increased six percent between September and March compared to the same period a year earlier.  The USDA says almost 7 million metric tons of the ethanol co-product was sold internationally during that time.  The US Grains Council says it promoted exports of the livestock feed, but there was also plenty of it at attractive prices.  A story on World-Grain, dot com says the export increase was despite a sharp drop in purchases by China, which has been the largest buyer the past few years.  China imposed countervailing duties on U.S. DDGs in January, resulting in the decline.  At the same time, the second largest market, Mexico, increased its purchases of U.S. DDGs.
