The U.S. Grains Council (USGC) hosted a delegation from the Japanese feed industry, the Japanese Feed Manufacturers Association (JFMA), JA Zennoh and the Japan Feed Trade Association (JFTA) in its Washington, D.C., headquarters on Monday to continue an ongoing and open dialogue about U.S. corn quality. <\/p>\n

The delegation also met with representatives from the North American Export Grain Association (NAEGA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s (USDA\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s) Federal Grain Inspection Service (FGIS). <\/p>\n

The group\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s discussions were centered on Japan\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s new good manufacturing practice (GMP) guidelines as introduced to the Japanese feed industry, which might influence control of aflatoxin and mycotoxin levels in regards to corn quality. <\/p>\n

The conversations considered ways to mutually harmonize standards so corn trade between the United States and Japan will continue to flow smoothly under the new guidelines, including sampling and analytical methods to test corn quality and rules for sampling and testing U.S. corn that is shipped.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Japanese delegation was very interested in implementing a program in which corn is tested prior to unloading in Japan using sampling and testing methods for aflatoxin consistent with those in the United States,\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd said USGC Director in Japan Tommy Hamamoto. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153This would reassure Japanese buyers and end-users of U.S. corn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s high quality and help meet the new GMP guidelines. In addition, the feed industry delegation requested more frequent information on mycotoxin levels in U.S. corn.\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd <\/p>\n

The Council plans to provide Japanese customers with more of its customer servicing expertise in an effort to mitigate their concerns. This is in addition to USGC efforts already in place to educate Japanese buyers about U.S. corn production, the U.S. marketing system and U.S. grades and standards that are the basis for corn export trading practices. The Council also works with partners throughout the U.S. grain value chain to emphasize the importance of quality to export customers. <\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153These types of face-to-face interactions are very important to our customers in Japan,\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd Hamamoto said. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153As the world market becomes increasingly competitive, we have to provide the customer servicing that our top markets demand.\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd <\/p>\n

The Council believes meetings like these are vital to maintaining the United States\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 reputation as the long-term supplier of high-quality coarse grains, including U.S. corn. <\/p>\n
