The visits included technical support to help identify points of optimization and discuss ways to increase efficiency, especially in understanding the impact on equipment, where CPM contributed its industry knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to examining the study\u2019s progress at feed milling plants, the Council\u2019s delegation also toured Barranquilla Port to better understand the import capacity and logistics for the region and met with a multinational food ingredient provider to update them on the study\u2019s results thus far. The visits to the Port were crucial in understanding the unloading system on-site while also addressing some of the challenges faced in the region that could impact corn quality for our end-users.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile we are waiting for more data from the commercial trials, it\u2019s important to continue building connections all along the supply chain to streamline the movement of U.S. agricultural products and share the exciting results we\u2019ve seen to date,\u201d Grabois said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will remain in close contact with our feed milling partners and frequently visit to guarantee a thorough, accurate study that provides valuable information to feed millers around the world. These actions are also of great value for us to understand the reality seen by our customers while also showing how the use of U.S. feed grains is a high-performing ingredient that shows positive returns on output in various operations.\u201d<\/p>\n"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/grains.org\/2025-annual-report\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/panels\/465","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\/472"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/grains.org\/2025-annual-report\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=465"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"commodities","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grains.org\/2025-annual-report\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/commodities?post=465"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
