About the Product

Corn gluten meal is a product of corn processing, obtained after the hull, germ and starch are separated from the grain. It is a dry powder with a high protein content.

Corn protein is rich in the amino acids that farm animals and poultry need, as well as linoleic acid. Corn gluten meal is high in carotenoids and natural pigments and provides a broad range of trace elements and B and E vitamins.

Applications

Corn gluten meal is widely used in agriculture and compound feed production. It is valued for its high energy value, availability and good handling properties, and it is relatively easy to store. Other products are listed under Feed Ingredients.

How Corn Gluten Meal Is Produced

Corn gluten meal is a by-product of starch production by wet milling. The grain is steeped, then the hull, germ and starch are separated in turn; the remaining protein fraction is dried to a powder. As a result, corn gluten meal comes from countries with a developed starch industry; the USA, China, France and Germany are among the world's leading exporters, and these are the origins from which FUSHKOV GCG supplies wholesale corn gluten meal.

Storage and Transport

Corn gluten meal is stored in dry, ventilated warehouses, protected from moisture, direct sunlight and pests. The product is relatively easy to store but loses flowability if it gets damp. It is usually shipped in bags or big bags. When buying corn gluten meal in bulk, choose the packaging to suit your storage conditions.

How a Deal Works

A physical commodity trade typically moves through a set of standard stages. The outline below reflects general industry practice; the actual terms are always set by the contract.

1
Enquiry
The buyer sends an enquiry for corn gluten meal: required quality parameters, indicative volume, destination and preferred delivery basis.
2
Offer and specification
The trader prepares an offer and agrees the specification with the counterparty: quality parameters and the methods used to test them.
3
Contract
The contract fixes the price, the Incoterms delivery basis, the shipment schedule, inspection procedure and payment terms. International deals typically use GAFTA (grain and feed) or FOSFA (oils, fats and oilseeds) standard contract forms.
4
Loading and inspection
As a rule, an independent surveyor draws samples at loading and certifies the quality and weight of the cargo.
5
Documents and payment
The buyer receives the full set of shipping documents; payment is made as agreed in the contract.

Typical Document Set

In international agricultural trade, the document set usually includes a commercial invoice, a bill of lading or other transport document, and certificates of origin, quality and weight. Plant products normally require a phytosanitary certificate, and feed products a veterinary certificate. The exact list depends on the product, the destination country and the contract terms.

Incoterms 2020 at a Glance

  • FCA — the seller hands the goods over to the carrier nominated by the buyer at an agreed place; suitable for any mode of transport.
  • FOB — the goods are delivered once loaded on board the buyer's vessel at the port of shipment; from that point the buyer bears the risk.
  • CFR — the seller pays freight to the port of destination, but risk passes to the buyer once the goods are on board at the port of shipment.
  • CIF — as CFR, but the seller also insures the cargo during the sea voyage.
  • DAP — the seller delivers the goods to the agreed destination, ready for unloading; suitable for any mode of transport.

FOB, CFR and CIF apply to sea and inland waterway transport only. This summary is general: the delivery basis is chosen for each deal and fixed in the contract.
