The U.S. Grains Council is making headway in India.
USGC Chair Josh Miller, who farms in central Indiana, says the country is a priority because of its huge population and growing middle class.
“There’s going to be a lot of opportunity for higher protein consumption, as well as (ethanol) with the E20 mandate that is likely to come into effect by 2025. It’s really going to help their pollution concerns and help them have a cleaner burning fuel with a higher octane level.”
Speaking to Brownfield Tuesday from the USGC International Marketing Conference in Savannah, he said the Council has been trying to get an office up and running in India for more than five years.
