This week, U.S. Grains & BioProducts Council (USGBC) leadership traveled to El Salvador and Guatemala to join a U.S. Department of Agriculture Trade Reciprocity for U.S. Manufacturers and Producers (USDA TRUMP) Mission with the goal of strengthening trade relationships for exports of U.S. corn and its co-products including ethanol and distiller's dried grains with solubles (DDGS). The Council also held a regional ethanol conference, Cultivando Energia, drawing stakeholders from the Caribbean, Central America, Ecuador and Mexico. Pictured from left to right during the conference are USGBC Chairman Mark Wilson; Guatemalan President Bernardo Arévalo; USDA Under Secretary for Trade and Foreign Agricultural Affairs Luke Lindberg; and USGBC President and CEO Ryan LeGrand.
