U.S. Soy Exchange in Milwaukee this week

More than 270 representatives of major international companies interested in importing U.S. soy are in Milwaukee this week for the second annual U.S. Soy Global Trade Exchange. Areas represented included China, the Middle East, Vietnam and many others.

United Soybean Board chair, Jim Call of Minnesota says, “The Global Trade Exchange gives U.S. soybean farmers a great opportunity to meet face to face with these valuable customers and prospective buyers as they commit to buying millions of bushels of our soybeans.” International representatives committed to buy $2.8 billion worth of U.S. soy during last year’s U.S. Soy Global Trade Exchange in Davenport, Iowa. The event, which is co-sponsored by USB, the American Soybean Association (ASA), the checkoff-funded U.S. Soybean Export Council (USSEC) and the Midwest Shippers Association, continues through Thursday.
