Earlier this month, U.S. Grains & BioProducts Council (USGBC) Senior Program Manager Linda Li and USGBC Consultant Xiaoming Wang traveled to Nanchang, China, to participate in the International Cooperation & Exchange Session for the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Industry, a key supporting event of the 2026 China Feed Industry Exhibition.
“With focus on the themes of global vision, open cooperation and mutual benefit, discussions centered on frontier technologies, green development and multinational synergy in the Chinese feed industry,” Li said.
“Stakeholders and policymakers are seeking to help the industry better integrate into the global agriculture and animal husbandry value chain through industrial development and international collaborative governance, expanding domestic demand and fostering closer global agricultural trade relations.”
In his opening address, China Feed Industry Association President Wang Zongli proposed four key directions for future cooperation: deepening technological synergy, smoothing trade channels, jointly promoting green development and improving dialogue mechanisms.
The Council was among seven other international organizations and companies invited to speak at the event. Wang presented on the global corn production outlook and gave international trade updates to an audience of nearly 200 people, emphasizing U.S. producers’ abilities to reliably supply the world with feed inputs.
The team also met Council member stakeholders from LongRun and exchanged ideas about promoting U.S. grains and their co-products in China.
“China is a complex market with extraordinary potential for U.S. producers, making collaboration with LongRun and other USGBC members here highly impactful in helping facilitate trade between the countries,” Li said.
“Healthy agricultural trade is a benefit to all parties, offering stability and quality for Chinese end-users and consumers and generating demand for U.S. growers, and participating in events like this are part of the Council’s longstanding commitment to the market.”
