A Taiwanese delegation visited Washington, D.C., this week to meet with officials and U.S. grain industry leaders and take part in a signing ceremony at the U.S. Capitol, held Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Signing letters of intent on behalf of the U.S. grain industry were Chip Councell, U.S. Grains Council vice chairman; Alan Tracy, U.S. Wheat Associates president; and Wade Cowan, American Soybean Association president representing the U.S. Soybean Export Council.<\/span><\/p>\n

The letters committed Taiwanese buyers to purchase approximately $3.03 billion worth of U.S. corn and co-products, wheat and soybeans by 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n

The delegation will follow their Washington visit with a week of touring the U.S. grain production region, including much of the U.S. Midwest and West.<\/span><\/p>\n
