Providing a premier product to global markets
Last week a group of young farmers participated in the United Soybean Board’s See for Yourself Tour through Panama and Ecuador.
After spending a week in Central and South America, central Kentucky farmer Brennan Gilkison says he was surprised at the impact American agriculture has on these other countries. “It’s unbelievable that we have a product that is premier that they want,” he says. “As a global society we’ve got to do our part in feeding the world and produce the best product we can.”
While Ecuador sources soybean meal from the United States and other South American countries – agri-businesses told the group American soybean meal is their preference because of its quality.
Gilkison tells Brownfield he thinks the only advantage those South American countries have over the US – is their proximity to Ecuador.
