2013\/2014 Corn Export Cargo Quality Report<\/a> helped alleviate apprehensions. <\/p>\n\u201cThe group was very impressed with how the Council responded to their concerns,\u201d said Julio Hernandez, USGC director in Mexico. \u201cBut the Council didn\u2019t stop with just presenting the Corn Export Cargo Quality Report; it took the group\u2019s concerns to the next level.\u201d<\/p>\n
Last week, the Council escorted a team of Mexican quality control technicians and lab managers from this buying group to the United States. The group learned how U.S. corn is classified, graded, loaded and shipped.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe quality control group was thrilled to see what the corn grading standards are as well as how those standards are enforced,\u201d Hernandez said. \u201cThis mission reinforced trust and confidence in the 2013 U.S. corn crop. Also, the group is no longer considering using a third party laboratory to complete a redundant double check on the results from U.S. Feed Grain Inspection Service.\u201d<\/p>\n
The tour of the United States\u2019 corn grading system increased the group\u2019s confidence in the United States as the long-term, reliable supplier of high-quality corn and is a good example of how the Council works to ensure smooth commercial transactions of behalf of U.S. grain exporters and Mexican importers. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe United States sells us high-quality grains and certifies its commitment,\u201d said Roberto Salcedo, a feedlot and quality control consultant for NUBAM. \u201cWhat other grain producing country offers what the United States does? Why should we buy from somewhere else?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
