  1. Hello Global Miller..I have several question to ask on the use of Surghum for feedstuff. Starting up a new business in the export of Surghum amongst other commodities in the UK. Looking for potential buyers in Europe and Africa. Potential source of Product is Nigeria which is currently one of the highest producers of Surghum but extremely low exporter. Still in research stages so would be pleased if you could advise how we can get in touch by email or telephone.
    Regards.
