Council Hosts Visitors At 2nd China International Supply Chain Expo

To promote U.S. agriculture as a sustainable, available and high-value source for food and feed, U.S. Grains Council (USGC) staff based in its Beijing, China office recently participated in the 2nd China International Supply Chain Expo (CISCE).

The event, organized by the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade and held over five days, boasted nearly 700 exhibitors and attracted more than 50,000 attendees including policymakers and fellow industry and logistics professionals looking to establish lasting business relationships.

“Reinforcing U.S. agriculture’s place as the most reliable and highest-quality supplier for the world’s food demand was a top priority for us at this event and I absolutely think we accomplished that through networking with participants at our booth,” said Manuel Sanchez, USGC director in China.

The theme of the event was “Connecting the World for a Shared Future,” and trade agreements valued at more than $21 billion were negotiated during the expo.

The Council operated a booth in the Green Agriculture Supply Chain section of the show floor that highlighted the efficiency, sustainability and stability of U.S. grain exports.

Key features included interactive presentations demonstrating the seamless logistics of transporting goods from U.S. farms to global markets; discussions with stakeholders on how the U.S. ensures consistent grain quality and supply; and visual materials showcasing the climate-conscious practices in place up and down the U.S. agricultural value chain.
