US increases DDGS shipments to Morocco and Tunisia
The US Grains Council has increased its DDGS exports to African countries, Morocco and Tunisia, according to David Hutcheson, USGC consultant and ruminant nutritionist.
US DDGS imports made by Morocco and Tunisia totalled 60,000 tonnes in 2007, compared to 27 tonnes imported in 2006.
The amount of DDGS will be used in new beef feedlots that are being built in the two countries.
The US reports that DDGS has been successfully marketed in Israel, where the feed milling sector has become more sophisticated.
Israel imported 71,000 tonnes of US DDGS in 2007.
