U.S. Grains Council (USGC) delegates provided powerful input and guidance into the Council\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s priorities for 2016 and beyond at meetings this week in Sarasota, Florida.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bringing the Council\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s producer and agribusiness members and stakeholders together with its global staff and consultants, the purpose of the meeting was program evaluation, assessment of changing market opportunities and review of the annual Unified Export Strategy (UES), the Council\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s official work plan for the upcoming year.<\/span><\/p>\n

This week\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s sessions during the 13th International Marketing Conference and 56th Annual Membership Meeting<\/a> were formatted to generate discussions between USGC membership and staff.<\/span><\/p>\n

Members from state checkoffs, agribusinesses and other organizations met with USGC staff during Advisory Team (A-Team) meetings focused on topics including trade policy, biotechnology, value-added opportunities and ethanol and regions including Asia, the Middle East and Africa and the Western Hemisphere.<\/span><\/p>\n

The meeting drew to a close Wednesday with attendees meeting in plenary to share input from the small group sessions with the USGC Boards of Delegates and Directors. Priorities laid out in the A-Team meetings included aggressive market development for ethanol exports, promoting a global understanding of biotechnology and providing U.S. agriculture a voice during global trade policy negotiations.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Our members\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 dedication to our work is part of what makes the Council excellent in its dealings with members and the overseas customers who depend on us,\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd said USGC Chairman Alan Tiemann.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153The input that was provided at our meeting this week was carefully thought out and gave the Council\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s staff insights to incorporate into their planning for our programs in the short and long terms.\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd<\/span><\/p>\n
