Registration is now available for the Export Exchange 2012, an international trade conference focused around the export of U.S. distiller’s dried grains with solubles (DDGS) and coarse grains. The event—co-sponsored by the U.S. Grains Council and the Renewable Fuels Association—will be held Oct. 22-24, 2012, at the Minneapolis Marriott City Center, Minneapolis, Minn.

“The Export Exchange 2012 will be an event buyers and sellers of U.S. coarse grains and DDGS will not want to miss,” said Wendell Shauman, USGC chairman. “This is the premier ethanol informational and sales event in the world – a one stop shopping for anyone in the industry.”

“Distillers grains and other feed products of American ethanol refining are an increasing valuable portion of livestock feed rations around the world,” said RFA Vice President for Research and Analysis Geoff Cooper. “The Export Exchange is the premiere opportunity for DDGS producers and buyers to meet, learn about the industry, and strengthen import trade relationships around the globe.”

Export Exchange 2012 will provide the latest information on international markets for U.S. coarse grains and their co-products, including DDGS and corn gluten.
