Comprised of corn millers, compound feed millers and traders, the Japanese trade teams\u2019 goal for attending the bi-annual conference is to learn more about U.S. coarse grains and co-products while building strong relationships with U.S. suppliers.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe presence of major U.S. coarse grain suppliers and agribusinesses will provide the Japanese opportunities to expand their business relationships with U.S. sellers,\u201d said Tommy Hamamoto, U.S. Grains Council director in Japan. \u201cPersonal relationships between the Japanese buyers and U.S. grain merchandisers are a vital ingredient to build business in this important market. Export Exchange will allow for these business relationships to grow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the Japanese participants are very interested in receiving the latest information about the 2014 U.S. corn crop as well as developments in the U.S. barley, sorghum and corn co-product sectors, which will impact their trading relationships with U.S. suppliers and agribusinesses in 2015. <\/p>\n<p>Participants are scheduled to include representatives from the following companies:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 1.538em;\">National Federation of Agricultural Cooperative Associations<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 1.538em;\">Sunny Maize Co., Ltd.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 1.538em;\">Meiji Feed Company Limited<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 1.538em;\">Oji Cornstarch Co., Ltd.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 1.538em;\">Katokagaku Co., Ltd.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 1.538em;\">Sanwa Cornstarch Co., Ltd.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 1.538em;\">Shikishima Starch MFG.

From Sept. 1, 2013, until Aug. 28, 2014, Japan imported more U.S. corn than any other market at 11.7 million tons (460.6 million bushels). The country is also a significant importer of U.S. distiller&#8217;s dried grains with solubles (DDGS), barley and sorghum. <\/p>\n<p>Export Exchange is the premier international trade conference focused on the export of U.S. coarse grains and ethanol co-products, co-sponsored by the the U.S. Grains Council (USGC) and the Renewable Fuels Association (RFA). Approximately 300 U.S. suppliers and agribusiness representatives as well as more than 180 international buyers are expected to attend the 2014 event. <\/p>\n<p>The last Export Exchange, held in 2012, broke records in attendance and attracted buying teams from 33 countries, including all of the top U.S. international coarse grains and ethanol co-products markets. Attendance at this year\u2019s event is expected to set a new record, creating more opportunities for U.S. merchandisers to connect with buyers and build business.<\/p>\n<p>Please visit www.exportexchange.org to <a href=\"http:\/\/exportexchange.org\/register-today\" target=\"_self\">register <\/a>today and find more information.
