The U.S. Grains Council’s (USGC’s) 2023 Annual Report is now live on grains.org.
Staff in each of the Council’s offices have found ways to Grow the Future of the Council this year, connecting with buyers of U.S. corn, sorghum, barley, distiller’s dried grains with solubles (DDGS) and ethanol in their markets to develop markets, enable trade and improve lives.
“As we wait to see what the Regional Agriculture Promotion Program (RAPP) could mean for the Council, we are ready, willing and already getting down to doing the hard work it takes to keep established markets open, open new markets and keep trade happening for the commodities you grow going strong as we head into a bright future beyond today, this year and for years to come,” said President and CEO Ryan LeGrand and USGC Chairman Brent Boydston in a joint letter.
The 2023 report highlights events that affected all Council staff and members: successfully inaugurating the Council’s office in India, the success of Global Ethanol Summit, issuing records of sustainability globally and ramping up the industrial starch and aquaculture programs.
Beyond worldwide successes, visitors can read about commodity-specific wins for corn, sorghum, barley, DDGS and ethanol and get details of and developments regarding projects and programs in each country and region around the world in which the Council operates.
