A U.S. sorghum crop forecasted at 9.9 million metric tons is currently being harvested creating a tremendous buying opportunity for feed grain buyers around the world.  Currently, U.S. sorghum is priced at $193.69/MT FOB Texas Gulf, whereas U.S. corn was priced at $201.96/MT FOB NOLA.  That’s a discount of $8.27/MT.  (https://grains.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/08282025MP.pdf). 

A buyer who buys a 35,000 MT vessel of U.S. sorghum is saving $289,450 per vessel at these prices. 

Some advantages of U.S. sorghum include:

• It is low in tannins
• Comparable feed value: Sorghum delivers nearly the same energy as corn for poultry, swine, and cattle, with slightly higher fiber and lower fat.
• Non-GMO
