# India’s booming ethanol industry opens up new opportunities for Bangladesh’s feed industry

> Bangladesh feed manufacturers are shifting purchases to Indian rice and corn DDGS, which they say is up to $100 per tonne cheaper than US DDGS. India's ethanol expansion has pushed up domestic corn prices, and India may need to import grain. The US is pressing for access to India's corn market in a trade deal due by August 1.

## Why it matters

Cheaper Indian DDGS diverts Asian demand away from US product, weighing on US DDGS export prices. Rising Indian corn demand and possible imports could firm global corn prices if the US-India deal opens the market.
