U.S. Sorghum en route to Morocco
The U.S. Grain Council said recent meetings with Moroccan agricultural businesses has paid off when Casablanca trading company Graderco ordered a shipment of 25,000 metric tons of U.S. sorghum.
The shipment was loaded by Archer Daniels Midland onto a vessel at the Port of Galveston, Texas, on Monday.
“We set the record straight by providing them with real-time market information, provided to us by the United Sorghum Checkoff Program (USCP), on the U.S. sorghum crop and pricing,” said Chris Corry, the council’s senior director of international operations, in a statement. “With the information we provided, Graderco made the purchase. Without accurate information and a trusting relationship, the purchase would not have been made.”
Corry said the council has intensified its sorghum marketing efforts as a result of funding provided by USCP, which was formed last year.
