US Wheat Associates (USW) is pleased to
announce that Rutger Koekoek is promoted from marketing specialist to regional
marketing director for Europe.
Mr Koekoek joined USW in 2009 and is based in the organisation’s regional office in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. USW is the export market development organisation for US wheat farmers.
“We are recognising Rutger’s work and his successful performance over the past several months filling this regional role as our long-time director Goris van Lit transitioned to retirement,” said USW Regional Vice President Ian Flagg.
Mr Flagg manages USW staff and all market development activities in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa from Rotterdam.
Europe continues to be an important regional market for US wheat. It is the largest export market for northern durum and Desert Durum® and flour millers frequently import US hard red spring (HRS) wheat to blend with locally-produced “soft” wheat.
Before joining USW, Mr Koekoek worked in seed sales and marketing management first with Delta and Pine Land in its Netherlands office.
Mr Koekoek managed sales and marketing of cotton seed in Europe and directly managed Delta and Pine Land's Turkish subsidiary. Mr Koekoek also worked as a marketing product manager for Dutch vegetable seed producer De Ruiter Seeds, where he steered the development and product lifecycle for pepper and eggplant varieties.
Mr Koekoek received a bachelor’s degree in International Management at the Rotterdam Business School and a master’s degree in Agricultural Economics and Marketing from Wageningen Agricultural University.
USW’s mission is to “develop, maintain, and expand international markets to enhance the profitability of US wheat producers and their customers.”
USW activities in more than 100 countries are made possible through producer checkoff dollars managed by 19 state wheat commissions and cost-share funding provided by USDA/Foreign Agricultural Service.
USW maintains 17 offices strategically located around the world to help wheat buyers, millers, bakers, wheat food processors and government officials understand the quality, value and reliability of all six classes of US wheat.
