Thailand ceases US shipments of DDG

US exports of DDG to Thailand has been stopped due to new fumigation requirements.
January 15, 2019

New fumigation requirements were imposed after beetles were detected in a shipment in 2018. US traders use phosphine to fumigate but Thai regulations require all DDG shipments to be fumigated with methyl bromide.

DDG is a cereal byproduct broadly used as livestock feed.
