The U.S. Grains Council (USGC) sponsored international corn buyers from Korea, Colombia and Mexico at the 2016 Corn Utilization and Technology Conference (CUTC) in St. Louis this week to offer them an opportunity to discuss their perspectives on corn quality with U.S. corn growers.<\/p>\n

Corn quality is a critical component of international buyers\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 purchasing decisions – and one about which USGC’s global staff works to educate global corn consumers. An example of this work is the release of the Council’s annual quality reports, which are unique among major corn exporters.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Most people attend this biennial conference because it is laser-focused on innovations and challenges relevant to the wet and dry corn milling industry,\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd said Dr. Richard Vierling, director of research at the National Corn Growers Association. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s an opportunity to network with the best minds in the industry in both formal and informal settings.\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd<\/p>\n

The three international participants that the Council asked to attend were from the industrial corn processing sectors in their respective countries. This week’s meeting offered them unique opportunities to network with the U.S. corn industry and share their insights.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Each of these delegates gave a presentation highlighting their local business environments and made detailed comments about purchasing U.S. corn,” said Kurt Shultz, USGC senior director of global strategies, who accompanied them at the conference. “Their presentations also included discussions surrounding their perceptions of U.S. corn quality compared to our competitors, including Brazil, Argentina and Ukraine.\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd<\/p>\n

The delegates’ presentations generated questions from conference attendees about each buyer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s preference when purchasing corn. All parties left the conference with a renewed sense of camaraderie and determination to work together to assist international end-users in acquiring the quality grains they desire.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Maintaining a dialogue between U.S. corn producers and exporters with international customers is a key role that the Council embraces,\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd Shultz said. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Some of the many advantages that the U.S. grain market has are our transparency and engagement with key customers in our export markets.\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd<\/p>\n
