In North Dakota, KFGO reported that National Sorghum Producers and the United Sorghum Checkoff Program recently joined the U.S. Grains Council for its annual Joint Officers’ Mission in India, held January. 12–17, to strengthen relationships with the country’s feed industry, explore sustainable aviation fuel priorities and highlight U.S. sorghum as a non-genetically modified (GM) option for Indian importers.
The delegation met with feed manufacturers, poultry integrators and oil refiners to discuss India’s feed needs and the upcoming SAF mandate, which is set to begin in 2027, according to the report.
“As India’s poultry production grows, U.S. sorghum offers a dependable, low-carbon solution,” said Amy France, chairwoman of National Sorghum Producers. “Our meetings reaffirmed the value sorghum brings to feed rations and potentially sustainable fuel production alike.”
“National Sorghum Producers works with decision-makers at home and abroad to address tariffs and other challenges impeding trade,” said Lust. “While hurdles remain, we are committed to finding practical paths forward so India and the United States can both benefit from sorghum’s advantages.”
