equipment in action.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThis group of Indiana agriculture stakeholders had the opportunity to see their investment firsthand in the AGRANS facility\u2019s use of the granted equipment. Individuals were given the opportunity to observe the facility\u2019s processing systems, share their vision with the company\u2019s leadership, and witness exactly how their equipment contribution impacted the company\u2019s efficiency and overall ability to promote the use of more U.S. DDGS. These missions are imperative to the success of the Council, and we greatly appreciate the time and dedication of the Indiana Corn Marketing Council,\u201d said Amelia Iliohan, USGC manager of industry relations.<\/p>\n<p>The group also had the opportunity to visit with grains and DDGS customers who will benefit from Indiana\u2019s investment. The equipment will create a more manageable bagged DDGS product for their customers to use in their operations. The Indiana growers also provided a firsthand crop report to the customers, giving them an inside look at the quality of U.S. commodities.<\/p>\n<p>The Council has been active in promoting DDGS in Southeast Mexico for many years.<\/p>\n<p>At its height, DDGS enters Mexico in bulk at 8,000-10,000 metric tons (MT) per month. From there, it is distributed to the feed industry, including major layer and broiler groups and commercial feed producers. In the last seven years, the Council has partnered with distributers who are capable of moving product into the rural ranching communities, delivering the product in bags so logistics are less of a constraint.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we were there, signing the MOU with AGRANS, they told us the equipment is already helping increase sales by lowering bagging costs and reaching new customers. It is a low budget investment that can help make a difference with our partners marketing DDGS,\u201d said Javier Chavez, USGC marketing specialist in Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>The Council estimates an annual average return on investment of $1,775 for the first five years of this bagging project.<\/p>\n<p>The organization will host support programs after installation and nutritional seminars to help ensure AGRANS customers understand how to best use DDGS. These programs are meant to leverage capital investment by working to maximize inclusion rates and provide value back to U.S. agriculture and its farmers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to be creative to find ways to enable business in the region and make this type of investment while our partners also show a commitment to our farmers,\u201d Chavez said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","has_padding":false,"graphic_bg":false,"text_last":false},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/grains.org\/2022-annual-report\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/panels\/69","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/grains.org\/2022-annual-report\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/panels"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/grains.org\/2022-annual-report\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/panels"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grains.org\/2022-annual-report\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/549"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/grains.org\/2022-annual-report\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"commodities","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grains.org\/2022-annual-report\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/commodities?post=69"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
