Iowa Corn recently welcomed two U.S. Grains Council trade teams in coordination with the Export Exchange global conference hosted by USGC, Growth Energy and the Renewable Fuels Association.
Trade teams serve as a crucial opportunity for international buyers and traders to visit the United States value chain, learn more about U.S. commodities and generate potential business connections while building relationships with farmers. The first team included delegates from Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka. While in Iowa, the team attended a seminar at Iowa State University about corn fermentation, co-products and processing skills. They experienced corn harvest first-hand while visiting Mark Mueller, a farmer from Bremer County, and Steve Kuiper, a farmer from Marion County.
