For the first time, the Congress was split into three clusters, representing the three main growing areas \u2013 Visayas, Mindanao and Luzon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Council\u2019s delegation engaged national and state-level stakeholders, focusing on U.S. corn production technology and ethanol\u2019s economic and environmental benefits, particularly for rural communities that are key demographics in the Philippines,\u201d Wurth said.<\/p>\n<p>Wurth presented on the U.S. ethanol supply chain at the conference and the Council\u2019s member representatives participated in a panel discussion about U.S. corn production practices and the economic value of ethanol to farmers and consumers.<\/p>\n<p>Following the event, the team traveled to Cauayan City, Isabela, one of the Philippines\u2019 most prominent corn growing areas, to visit an existing ethanol plant, provincial government stakeholders and corn farms.<\/p>\n<p>The Council is seeking support from various local stakeholders to move the country to E20 usage. The Government of Isabela expressed its desire for an expanded ethanol industry that promotes U.S. investments in the agricultural sector and facilitates U.S. feed grains to support animal production.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe presence of Council grower members helped build stronger connections to the customers and government officials we spoke to on the program, paving the way for future collaboration and developing a trust and loyalty to U.S. corn and corn co-products,\u201d Wurth said.<\/p>\n<p>Within the current system, U.S. ethanol compliments local Philippine ethanol production to fulfill the country\u2019s nationwide E10 mandate. A move to E20 would equate to 360 million gallons of total ethanol demand.<\/p>\n"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/grains.org\/2025-annual-report\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/panels\/459","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\/478"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/grains.org\/2025-annual-report\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=459"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"commodities","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grains.org\/2025-annual-report\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/commodities?post=459"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
