The North Dakota Soybean Council hosted representatives from the Myanmar Edible Oil Dealer’s Association as part of their U.S. visit this week. The team heard presentations on soybean production in North Dakota and how almost all soybeans exported from the state are bound for Asia.
The team also visited the Colfax Farmer’s Elevator, where they saw grain trucks unloaded and the elevator preparing for the fall harvest. The group visited Scott Gauslow farm to see modern soybean production methods firsthand.
After visiting North Dakota, the team travels to Iowa for company visits, before heading to Indianapolis for the Global Trade Exchange.
ASA/WISHH Division Director for Asia Alan F. Poock is accompanying the team during their trip.
Funding for the team’s visit was provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Emerging Market’s Program.
