Founded in 1960, the U.S. Grains Council (USGC) is a private, non-profit organization with 10 international offices and a full-time presence in 28 locations, operating programs in more than 50 countries and the European Union. Believing exports are vital to global economic development and to U.S. agriculture’s profitability, USGC works to create new markets, develop long-term relationships, and enable trade for U.S. barley, corn, grain sorghum, and related products - including ethanol and distiller’s dried grains with solubles (DDGS). More than 150 agribusinesses, farm organizations, and commodity checkoffs are members of the USGC, and we invite you to join us in promoting the stable and sustainable development of China-US agricultural trade.
