or Marri Carrow, U.S. Grains Council manager of communications, at mcarrow@grains.org.
This team is composed of industry and trader delegates from large feed, swine and grains/DDGS trading companies as well as agricultural experts in China. Shanghai JC Intelligence Co., Ltd is one of the leading information sources in China and will be represented on the team by their chairman, Mr. Qiang (Hanver) Li. Most team members are purchasing or general managers.
The Council began promotion of U.S. DDGS in China in 2006. Tightening supplies of domestic DDGS and other competing ingredients attracted more interest in U.S. DDGS. The Council and the People’s Republic of China have organized several teams to travel to the United States and several technical and market seminars for U.S. DDGS in China. As a result, a substantial amount of U.S. DDGS was imported in 2009. Chinese buyers plan to continue and expand their purchase of U.S. DDGS.
