When natural disaster strikes, it leaves in its wake a country and its people short of food, water and security. This was the case in 1959, when two typhoons devastated one of Japan\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s centers of agriculture production, the Yamanashi prefecture. To help re-establish the prefecture\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s once-robust hog production industry, hog and grain producers in Iowa, assisted by<\/p>\n

USDA\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Foreign Agricultural Service, airlifted 36 breeding hogs and shipped tens of thousands of bushels of donated feed grain to the area. It was this \u00e2\u20ac\u0153hog lift\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd event that laid the foundation for a prosperous trading relationship and partnership between the United States and Japan.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Partners in Agriculture\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd is a commemoration of the phenomenal growth of the agricultural trade relationship between the United States and Japan over the past 50 years, as well as the celebration of the strong ties that have been built and will continue to foster successful trade for agricultural products in the years to come. Today, Japan is the largest commercial market for U.S. feed grains, pork, wheat, potatoes and rice, and will return to being the largest market for U.S. beef. It is also the world\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s largest net importer of consumer ready food products. Japan\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s purchases have been essential contributors to the health of the U.S. economy and will continue to be critical for the future of U.S. agriculture.<\/p>\n

Through a series of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Partners in Agriculture\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd events, the Council will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153hog lift,\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd which sparked the Iowa-Yamanashi Sister State relationship and, of course, the start of the U.S. Grains Council.<\/p>\n

This exciting series of events was kicked of this week with a press conference at the FOODEX JAPAN trade show in Tokyo and will be followed by events in April including a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Global Food Security Symposium\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd on April 7, which is sponsored by the Council. It will feature some of the world\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s finest minds in a discussion about how to leverage the past successes of cooperator program, and how to continue providing security for a growing population.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
