A delegation of Illinois corn farmers, representing the Illinois Corn Growers Association and the Illinois Corn Marketing Board will visit Colombia this month to learn more about the market opportunities in that country following passage of the Colombia Free Trade Agreement (FTA).

While in Colombia, the Illinois delegation will meet with potential buyers, as well as spend time with both the Colombian Swine and Poultry Association, they’ll visit a dairy cooperative, a swine production unit and SOLA, one of the top three feed millers in Colombia.

The group returns to Illinois on February 19.
