The U.S. Grains Council (USGC) is continuing to build business-to-business relationships between domestic producers and global end-users by sponsoring 10 trade teams following the culmination of Export Exchange 2022. Eleven other groups have already spent time meeting with key partners along the value chain prior to Export Exchange to further their connection to U.S. agricultural stakeholders and their understanding of the export system as a whole.
Export Exchange is a biennial educational and trade forum for U.S. feed grains that hosts nearly 500 international buyers, importers and domestic suppliers. This year’s edition was held in Minneapolis from Oct. 12-14.
“The Council takes pride in being able to attract such diverse groups of international buyers and government officials from various countries in support of Export Exchange and in overall market capacity building,” said Ryan LeGrand, USGC President and CEO. “The lasting memories and relationships created from this event will benefit U.S. producers and end-users worldwide for years to come.”
The trade teams represent a wide range of industry leaders who contribute to strong U.S. export numbers year after year in commodities including corn, distiller’s dried grains with solubles (DDGS) and sorghum.
A description of the teams and the dates of their travel are listed below:
• Canadian corn and DDGS team to Minnesota, Oct. 14
• Mexican sorghum and DDGS team to Kansas and Texas, Oct. 15-18
