Brookins Identifies Market Trends at the USGC Conference
“The U.S. Grains Council has the experience and imagination necessary to make things happen,” said the Honorable Carole L. Brookins in her keynote address at the USGC 7th International Marketing Conference.

US Agricultural Exports are a High Priority for President Obama. In the State of the Union address Jan. 27, 2010, President Barack Obama listed international trade as one of his top priorities for expanding the U.S. economy. “We need to export more of our goods. Because the more products we make and sell to other countries, the more jobs we support right here in America,” he said as he issued the challenge to double U.S. exports over the next five years, with specific focus on helping ‘farmers and small businesses increase their exports. President Obama emphasized the importance of ‘seeking new markets aggressively,’ in order to create U.S. jobs. He pledged to pursue the Doha trade agreement and to strengthen trade relations with key partners, including South Korea, Panama and Colombia. “It was encouraging to hear President Obama specifically address the immediate need to increase exports in order to stimulate further economic growth. The President mentioned the importance of exports to U.S. farmers.

Dorr.
