The Rice DDGS Market is still relatively small compared to corn DDGS, but is growing steadily, especially in Asia which dominates rice production globally. Major rice DDGS producing countries include China, India, Vietnam, Thailand and Japan. As rice-based ethanol production expands in these countries, DDGS output is increasing as well. China is the leading producer and consumer of rice DDGS currently.

Rice distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) is a co-product of rice ethanol production. It is produced through a dry-milling process where starches are converted to ethanol, leaving behind the non-fermentable components like protein, fiber, fat, and ash which form the DDGS.

Rice DDGS finds usage majorly as animal feed, due to its high protein and fiber content. The growth in commercial livestock production and feed demand in Asia is contributing to increased rice DDGS consumption. It is used in feed rations for poultry, swine, cattle and aquaculture species. Unlike corn DDGS, rice DDGS can also find usage as human food, for example in snacks and cereals.

Key drivers for the rice DDGS market include government policies supporting biofuel production from rice, rising feed demand from the expanding livestock sector, favorable properties of rice DDGS over traditional feed ingredients as well as advancements in DDGS processing technologies. Market challenges include seasonality, variability in nutritional composition, transport and storage difficulties as well as lack of awareness among some livestock producers.
