Worldwide, it is common for grain sorghum to be used as a food grain for humans. In the United States, sorghum is used primarily as a feed grain for livestock and the feed value of grain sorghum is similar to corn.
Recently, the high demand for sorghum has proven to be a positive phenomenon for the U.S. Mexico purchases around 78 million bushels of sorghum from the United States each year, and, “In any given year, Mexico alone accounts for roughly 25 percent to 30 percent of U.S. sorghum exports.”
As John Miller from Southwest Ag Consulting explained, ‘The demand for sorghum by Mexico should increase given that the U.S. market is coming off of a drought and will boost production.’
