USSEC and USGC joint conference facilities information sharing in Chile

Sixty procurement and managerial staff members from the feed, poultry and livestock industries in 14 Latin American countries recently attended the Americas Agricultural Cooperators Conference in Chile, a regional buyers conference conducted jointly by the US Grains Council (USGC) and the US Soybean Export Council (USSEC). The program provided attendees an opportunity to hear from international experts, gain additional insights into US agribusinesses and increase technical knowledge among buyers.

The Latin American region - including the Caribbean, Central and South America and Mexico - accounts for some of the most important US grain export markets. US coarse grains and related products have a natural market advantage in the region, given its geographic proximity, and 11 separate free trade agreements with the United States, including the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Council programs since the early 1980s have helped accelerate the growth of meat, milk and egg production and have built partnerships with industry and livestock associations in the region.

During the two-day conference in Puerto Varas, some of the most important buyers in the region learned about the supply of US grains, oilseeds and co-products; global trends in agricultural markets; world trade policy; weather outlooks and relevant nutrition issues. The joint conference follows a similar event first organised in 2017.
