US Grains Council succeeds in first-ever DDGS exports to Algeria

In Algeria, Sarl Nutrimag made the first ever purchase of U.S. DDGS and CGF into Algeria, which began unloading on Sept. 5, 2013. According to Cary Sifferath, US Grains Council regional director for the Middle East and Africa, this shipment is one of the beginning steps to a greater future for U.S. DDGS and corn gluten feed in the Algerian market. The U.S. Grains Council in September 2012 successfully fostered the removal of the value added tax (VAT) and custom tax on all feed imports in Algeria, including DDGS and corn gluten feed.
