ADM will use Nuseed’s Wholis™ branded sorghum supply chain, which includes premium genetics, specifically located and qualified growers, and consistently contracted specifications.
Sorghum, an ancient grain originating in Africa and India, is commonly used in a variety of foods worldwide. In North America, sorghum acres are on the rise due to its environmental flexibility and drought hardiness. However, the grain is often overlooked in food applications, despite its qualities as a nutrient-rich, whole grain and gluten-free flour.
“Nuseed is working to develop opportunities beyond the seed sale," said Tim Birkel, Nuseed commercial director. “As we promote awareness of sorghum in the food chain, we understand the necessity for food companies to have a consistent supply of grain, bred specifically for use as a food product."
