Export Exchange 2024 wraps up as trade teams head across the USA

(Posted on 14/10/24)

Export Exchange 2024, sponsored by the U.S. Grains Council (USGC), Growth Energy and the Renewable Fuels Association (RFA) I Forth Woth, Texas, has closed with a focus on new products, sustainability and the superior value of U.S. corn.

“We are incredibly excited to see the impact that this week will have in the coming year as international stakeholders continue to generate new business within the U.S. value chain,” Ryan LeGrand, USGC president and CEO said. “Export Exchange has proven to be a crucial part in strengthening U.S. relationships with international industry professionals and therefore, strengthening the U.S. agriculture industry for years to come.”

Speakers during the last day of the event illustrated numerous reasons why U.S. commodities offer the best advantage to global buyers and how its scalable and transparent export system provides direct access to satisfy grain needs around the world.

Topics during Wednesday’s general sessions, covered by top experts in their fields, included “New Co-Products in the Market,” by Joe Ward, executive director of the Distillers Grains Technology Council; “Sustainable Corn and Co-Products Exports,” presented by USGC Director of Global Sustainability Carlos Suárez; and a panel, “Value of U.S. Corn,” featuring Dr. Vijay Singh from the University of Illinois, USGC Senior Director of Global Strategies Kurt Shultz and Technical Sales Manager at CPM Industrial Solutions Doug Kitch.

Export Exchange 2024 allows buyers and sellers of U.S. corn, distiller’s dried grains with solubles (DDGS), sorghum and other commodities to network and gain a better understanding of the needs of buyers around the world and the calibre of supply the U.S. provides.

As Export Exchange ends, 13 trade teams will continue the momentum and head to corn-growing states to see advanced farming operations, explore DDGS production at ethanol plants, view port facilities and more to build their networks with U.S. suppliers, rounding out their time in the United States.
