The U.S. Grains Council partnered with the American Soybean Association to host the Southeast Asia Grain Transportation Conference held in New Orleans last week. The conference put end-users of U.S. Commodities in the same room as U.S. suppliers and they did business face-to-face. The total sales amounted to $236,000 metric tons of U.S. products, including DDG with solubles; corn gluten; soybeans; and soybean meal.
According to the U.S. Grains Council, these sales that occurred at the conference are only the beginning. USGC Regional Director in Southeast Asia Adel Yusupov says the relationships are made and more is sure to come.
"U.S. farmers are the ultimate winners," Yusupov said. "Soybeans and meal are hot commodities right now since the region is very short on feed protein."
