Vietnam reopens market to US DGGS

The Vietnamese authorities have abolished legislative restrictions on the import of DGGS - raw materials, which are mainly purchased in the US and used in the feed industry.

 

In 2015/16, the country was the third largest buyer of US DDGS, importing about 985,000 metric tons of the feed ingredient, worth about $210m.

 

The decision to abolish trade barriers was supported by the US Grain Council, whose representatives in the communique said that soon the volume of supply of this product to the country may exceed the levels of the past years, since during the period of action the demand for raw materials for the feed industry has grown in the country. This, in turn, is part of a larger trend to increase consumption of livestock products in Southeast Asia.

 

Recall that DDGS is a valuable protein-containing product for the production of mixed fodders and one of the tools to overcome the existing shortage of fodder protein in livestock.
