Updated Brochure Highlights Advantages Of U.S.-Origin Grains

The U.S. Grains Council (USGC) recently released an updated brochure highlighting these benefits and more of U.S. grains. Entitled “The Benefits of U.S. Grain Exports,” the brochure was first shared at Export Exchange held this week in Minneapolis to accompany a panel discussing the topic. The document can now be accessed online on the Council’s website.

“In the U.S., we are extremely proud of our commodity-based system that is scalable, and boasts speed of harvesting and handling, flexibility, ease of replacement or substitution, forward contracts, risk management, fungibility and more,” said USGC President and CEO Ryan LeGrand.

U.S.-sourced products are competitive and available. They are high-quality and sustainably produced. The U.S. is a reliable and consistent shipper of commodities that meet the contracts customers sign – day in, day out, year in, year out. This transparency allows U.S. agricultural products to remain competitive in the international market.

“The extensive and highly efficient export system here allows grain grown on thousands of farms to be harvested, collected and comingled at elevators, then transported by barge or rail to terminal elevators where it’s further combined and loaded for delivery to destinations all over the world,” LeGrand said.

The brochure provides a brief overview of how the U.S. grains system impacts customers, why one should buy U.S.-origin and the advantages that come with those commodities.

U.S. agriculture is committed to working with global customers, listening to whatever concerns they may have and working to correct them.

We continually draw on the inherent strengths of our system to serve you better.
