The U.S. Grains Council (USGC) has increased its global representation in the dynamic and growing region of Southeast Asia with the addition of Dentham Chienpairoj as a local consultant based in Bangkok, Thailand.
“Dentham brings a wealth of trading experience and a robust commercial background to the Council,� said Kevin Roepke, USGC regional director for South and Southeast Asia. “He will be tasked with executing our programs in his country with a focus on finding ways to overcome barriers to trade and distiller’s dried grains with solubles (DDGS) promotion.�
Chienpairoj, who also works with other companies involved in the agricultural trade, previously worked directly in trading and importing including with Charoen Pokphand Foods’s (CPF’s) feed ingredient business group. CPF is one of the world’s largest compound feed manufacturers.
“Thailand has become synonymous with feed production in Asia,� Roepke said. “A more robust local presence in that country will enable the Council to engage in more strategic activities and better position the organization in the dynamic markets within South and Southeast Asia.�
Chienpairoj received his master’s of business administration from the Antai School of Economy and Management, located at the Shanghai Jiaotong University in Shanghai, China.
