Based on the infographic “How Does U.S. Grain Move?,” a new video released by the U.S. Grains Council (USGC) highlights the journey U.S. corn takes domestically and internationally. The video also provides a breakdown of how the commodity reaches its final destination via different logistical pathways, including ocean vessel, rail and truck.
Like the infographics available in the Council’s media resources library, animated videos are a great way for Council members and the general public to get a snapshot of the organization’s work to develop markets, enable trade and improve lives.
“The video is a quick view of the value chain for U.S. corn – and boasts the extensive network of truck, rail and ocean vessel operations that allows the U.S. to transport the commodity within our own country and around the world,” said Bryan Jernigan, USGC director of communications. “The video makes a strong case that the U.S. supply chain is the most extensive and efficient in getting commodities to those who want them wherever they are.”
This video and more are available for viewing and use by Council partners, including on social media and in trade education efforts focused on the importance of market development. A similar video highlighting sorghum exports will be distributed in the coming weeks.
