Amy France, Chair of the National Sorghum Producers, discussed the recent MaHA report, emphasizing sorghum's unique benefits and the need for better education on its role in healthier diets. She highlighted a potential crisis due to a 23% yield increase and the loss of the Chinese market, which historically accounted for 50-70% of U.S. sorghum exports. France stressed the urgency of diversifying markets, including Mexico, Vietnam, and India, to avoid a market glut and potential elevator closures. The association is working closely with the administration to address these challenges and encourages members to share their stories to strengthen their advocacy efforts.
