But at the same time, the Council is taking a heightened look at sub-Saharan Africa. The sub-Saharan markets have not yet emerged as major importers for U.S. grains, but we want to look ahead and start planting the seeds and building the relationships today.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The 11th International Marketing Conference and 54th Annual Membership Meeting being held in Long Beach, Calif., Feb. 10-12, is an opportunity for A-Teams to review Council activities and strategies, and to adopt the Unified Export Strategy, the Council&#8217;s program planning instrument.<\/p>\n<p>In the wake of the Bali agreements and with Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership and Trans Pacific Partnership negotiations in full swing &#8230; with biotechnology issues erupting around the world &#8230; and with the rise of South American and Black Sea competition and the launch of the new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.maizall.org\/\">MAIZALL <\/a>initiative, all the A-Teams have a full agenda. Since many key issues cut across multiple A-Team agendas, the Long Beach meeting will also feature a unique, joint A-Team session.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Issues often surface multiple times,&#8221; noted USGC President and CEO Tom Sleight, &#8220;so this will be an opportunity for the A-Teams to cross-check their discussions. Then we will break again into the individual A-Teams and get down to work on the details. This will also be a great chance for delegates to sit in on an A-Team on which you might be interested in serving.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The A-Team agendas are being developed now, so please feel free to contact your A-Team leader or staff liaison with suggestions.<\/p>\n<p>The hotel deadline is quickly approaching, Jan. 10, 2014, so reserve your spot and register today!
