Cereals; grain sorghum, other than seed

HS code 100790 covers grain sorghum, a cereal crop that is widely cultivated around the world. Sorghum is an important staple food in many regions, particularly in Africa and Asia, and is also used as animal feed and for the production of biofuels. As a resilient and drought-tolerant crop, sorghum plays a significant role in global food security and the broader agricultural economy.

Grain sorghum is typically grown using traditional farming methods, with the crop being sown, cultivated, and harvested in a similar manner to other cereal grains. The crop requires warm temperatures and moderate rainfall during the growing season, and is often grown in areas with limited water availability. After harvesting, the sorghum grains are dried, cleaned, and processed for use as food, animal feed, or industrial applications.

The primary inputs for the production of grain sorghum 100790 Cereals; grain sorghum, other than seed include arable land, water, and agricultural machinery for planting, cultivating, and harvesting the crop. Farmers also require access to high-quality sorghum seeds, as well as fertilizers and pesticides to ensure optimal crop yields. Additionally, processing facilities and transportation infrastructure are necessary to prepare and distribute the harvested sorghum.

The main outputs of the grain sorghum industry are the sorghum grains themselves, which can be used for a variety of purposes. The grains are commonly consumed as a staple food, particularly in developing regions, and are also used as animal feed, especially for livestock such as cattle, poultry, and pigs 230690 Preparations used in animal feeding. Additionally, sorghum is increasingly being used for the production of biofuels, such as ethanol 220710 Undenatured ethyl alcohol of an alcoholic strength by volume of 80% vol. or higher.
