On the recordNovember 5, 2003
currently, USDA does not distinguish between white (food grade) sorghum and yellow feed grade sorghum in our food aid programs. Unfortunately, sorghum that is used to make animal and pet food, or used to make ethanol, is being sent to African countries where people have been eating sorghum for generations. In fact, sorghum originated in Africa. They are keenly aware of the difference between the food grade sorghum that they eat and the feed grade sorghum that is fed to cattle. It is my view that USDA should provide recipient countries with sorghum that has the food qualities and characteristics with which the people receiving the aid are familiar.
