S&P Global reports that sorghum is gaining use as a drought-resistant feedstock, with lower prices putting pressure on corn and corn-based DDGS demand in animal feed. US sorghum exports to China fell 77.8% to 1.031 million mt in 2024/25 so far, while Mexico is increasing its purchases of US sorghum.
Cheaper sorghum competing with corn and DDGS in feed rations could cap corn and DDGS prices, though lower protein limits full substitution. Shifting sorghum flows toward Mexico support sorghum prices while China's absence weighs on the export outlook.
