On July 1, 1973, the Council inaugurated a partnership with
Taiwan through the establishment of an office in Taipei, Taiwan. Forty
years later, Taiwan has grown into a consistent top five market for U.S.
coarse grains, and the Council enjoys widespread support from U.S.
grain industry buyers and partners, and high respect throughout Taiwan.
The Council has worked in
Taiwan in virtually every area of demand, trade, policy and marketing of
U.S. agricultural products. Taiwan has been receptive to Council
initiatives in all areas of livestock industry development; value-added
products such as distiller's dried grains with solubles (DDGS),

bioplastics; policy regarding biotechnology and food safety; and more.

Sitting
in an office in Washington, D.C., or in a combine in Nebraska, it can
be difficult to grasp the impact of an office and a staff halfway around
the world that has been on the job for U.S. coarse grains and
co-products producers for 40 years. The U.S. Grains Council, however,
recently had the chance to recognize just such contribution as the
Council's Taiwan office reaching this milestone.
