U.S. sorghum producers have a new opportunity in Malaysia after import restrictions and requirements for the product were eased earlier in April. The U.S. Grains Council worked closely with its Malaysian counterparts and USDA agencies to advance market access for U.S. sorghum products in Malaysia. “The Council applauds Malaysia’s decision to open itself to U.S. sorghum to provide a high-quality feed and food ingredient option for this growing, modern economy,” said Caleb Wurth, USGC regional director for Southeast Asia and Oceania. “Our staff has already been in touch with Malaysian customers to let them know about this change, and they are extremely interested in the financial and nutritional benefits of U.S. sorghum.” The new import laws dropped several logistical and administrative requirements that previously put U.S. sorghum at a competitive disadvantage compared to other origins. Malaysia imported over $28 million in U.S. grains in all forms (GIAF) in marketing year 2023-2024.
