What happened

The U.S. is the world's leading supplier of sorghum. Domestic sorghum growers are actively working to introduce the cereal to the American diet.

Context

Sorghum is a significant U.S. agricultural export, yet the crop has minimal presence in American consumption despite being grown domestically at scale. Growers' efforts to build market awareness and consumer adoption could expand the domestic market for a commodity currently oriented toward export or non-food uses.
