São Paulo – Morocco has allowed importers to buy DDG from Brazilian exporters. DDG is a cereal byproduct of the distillation process used in animal feed. The announcement was made on Tuesday (10) through a joint statement issued by Brazil’s Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock and Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This marks the 106th international market opening for Brazilian products this year.
DDG stands for dried distillers’ grains, a byproduct of the distillation process of cereals, such as corn. It consists of fibers, protein, nutrients, and oils and can be used in nutritional plans for cattle, poultry, fish, horses, and pets.
According to data from Brazil’s Ministry of Development, Industry, Trade and Services, the country exported USD 1.238 billion and imported USD 1.412 billion from Morocco in 2023. The leading products exported by Brazil were sugar, corn, pepper, soybean oil, and beef. Top imports during this period were fertilizers.
