Brazil is set to ship its first batch of DDGS to China, 62,000 tons exported by Inpasa from the port of Imbituba (SC), marking a new strategic front for the country’s corn ethanol industry. The shipment follows China’s decision to open its market to the product in 2025 and could pave the way for a new billion-dollar revenue stream for Brazilian agribusiness. DDGS, a co-product of ethanol production, is widely used in animal nutrition and adds significant value to the production chain. Inpasa has already negotiated roughly 250,000 tons with Chinese buyers, and total imports could reach up to 1.5 million tons in 2026. Brazil’s entry into this market reinforces its role as a global supplier of high-nutritional-value inputs.
