Korean Buyers Purchase US Corn After Illinois Meeting
“It would have been nice to meet face to face but for what we had it was as productive as we could get. I’d like to think our efforts made a difference and answering their questions had a benefit,” said Lamoreux.
South Korean corn buyers are very focused on securing high quality grain and Illinois farmers produced an abundance of quality corn in 2020.
“This commitment from South Korean buyers demonstrates the importance of finding new ways to build and maintain relationships overseas. This virtual trade mission was the first of its kind and its success is based on a lot of hard work from partners around the world,” Collin Watters, Director of Exports and Logistics at IL Corn, said.
With offices across the globe, U.S. Grains Council partners with IL Corn to promote and expand international markets for grain grown in America. Their work establishing relationships and promoting trade helps grow demand for American corn.
