Participants learned about the CSAP, SCE and other\u00a0tools available for buyers to receive assurances of the rigorous standards U.S. corn products are grown with.<\/p>\n<p>The team visited an array of farms working under\u00a0a corn, wheat and soy rotation, where buyers were able to appreciate advanced resource-saving farming technologies and conservation practices.<\/p>\n<p>Other\u00a0stops included deep dives into other applications for feed grains, like distilling, to give buyers a wider range of knowledge of U.S. corn\u2019s quality and safety. The delegation also met with a conservation group to discuss the latest tools and technologies farmers have at their disposal to increase yields and reduce input costs like water.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMature markets around the world have a serious interest in their goods being produced in an environmentally conscious\u00a0way, and\u00a0showcasing the leading conservation practices implemented by growers such as those we met in Kentucky prove U.S. corn\u2019s reliability at a relatively low impact for the global marketplace,\u201d Su\u00e1rez said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince launching in 2023, CSAP and the SCE have covered over 45 million tons of U.S. corn products shipped to international markets, showcasing growers\u2019 stewardship pf the land and providing customers with assurances, in Japan and elsewhere, that U.S. corn allows them to comply with their ingredient sourcing policies and achieve goals across multiple industries.\u201d<\/p>\n"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/grains.org\/2025-annual-report\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/panels\/451","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/grains.org\/2025-annual-report\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/panels"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/grains.org\/2025-annual-report\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/panels"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grains.org\/2025-annual-report\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/483"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/grains.org\/2025-annual-report\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=451"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"commodities","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grains.org\/2025-annual-report\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/commodities?post=451"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
