A team of New Zealand government officials recently traveled to Iowa, Louisiana and Washington, D.C., to study the U.S. grain export system and to explore ways to streamline their protocols to allow more U.S. corn exports to New Zealand.<\/p>\n

While New Zealand is not traditionally a large market for U.S. corn, buyers from that country did purchase more than 142,000 metric tons (5.59 million bushels) of U.S. corn valued at $34 million during the 2014\/2015 marketing year.<\/p>\n

The country is also a potential growth market as a signatory to the 12-country Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement. TPP is intended to create standardized trade rules across 40 percent of the world\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s economy and establish rapid-response mechanisms to quickly resolve sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) issues that may emerge.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the agreement being ratified and new standards going into effect, the visiting New Zealand officials wanted to examine and learn about the U.S. phytosanitary certification process.<\/p>\n

The team\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s visit included a short course at Iowa State University focused on U.S. seed production techniques and methods to determine plant health. They also stopped at the Federal Grain Inspection Service (FGIS) office in Louisiana for a briefing on the U.S. grain inspection system.<\/p>\n

In addition, the group saw a corn farm, rail facilities and an export facility to understand the entire grain marketing chain. The team\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s visit to the United States concluded at the Council\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Washington, D.C., headquarters for a market briefing.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We were happy to host this team from New Zealand, a small but growing corn market,\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd said USGC Senior Director of Global Strategies Kurt Shultz, who met with the group.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153The team was particularly impressed by the working relationship between USDA and the Council to address trade issues. The private and public sector engagement was evident to the team on their stops throughout the United States.\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd<\/p>\n

The team left with follow-up plans to work with the Council\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s office in Kuala Lumpur to host a joint seminar in New Zealand promoting trade between the United States and their home country.<\/p>\n
