Grains Council sets Export Exchange for October 2016

The next Export Exchange -- a biennial event sponsored by the U.S. Grains Council (USGC) and the Renewable Fuels Association -- will be held in Detroit Oct. 24-27, 2016 for global coarse grain, ethanol and co-products markets.

“We are expecting more than 200 international buyers of coarse grains, co-products and ethanol to attend Export Exchange 2016 along with an estimated 300 producers and agribusiness representatives, making this the industry’s premiere opportunity to network with your key customers," USGC Chairman Alan Tiemann said.

The Export Exchange is a networking opportunity for those who attend and an opportunity to listen to keynote speakers talk on critical topics including the benefits of U.S. corn, distiller’s dried grains with solubles (DDSG), ethanol and other products. Critical issues facing U.S. agriculture exports will also be addressed.

“The global demand for DDGS has increased significantly over the last several years, and Export Exchange provides a one-of-a-kind opportunity to bring buyers and sellers together with the goal of promoting continued growth in the international market,” Renewable Fuels Association CEO and President Bob Dinneen said.

More information will be available in the coming months for members of the grain industry.
