The U.S. Grains Council’s (USGC’s) Corn Harvest Quality Report events continue around the world, with seminars recently taking place in Taiwan, Japan and South Korea.
Based on 611 yellow corn samples taken from 12 of the top corn-producing and exporting states, this year’s report highlighted how the 2023 U.S. corn crop was the largest on record with the lowest percentage of broken corn and foreign material (BCFM) to date.
“Japanese buyers were happy to hear about this year’s high protein concentration, lower total damage and moisture content,” said Tommy Hamamoto, USGC director in Japan.
While many of the rollout events follow a similar agenda, each is tailored to the specific market it is taking place in to best meet the needs of customers there.
