New Infographic Features Grains, Ethanol Successes In Southeast Asia

To help the U.S. Grains Council’s (USGC’s) Southeast Asia and Oceania regional office promote their work with other entities that may be considering purchasing U.S. agricultural products, but want to know more, the Council created an infographic featuring the office’s efforts to promote grains and ethanol in the region. The double-sided document can now be downloaded at grains.org/infographics, along with many other designs in the Council’s library.

“The results highlighted are a culmination of the hard work our team in Southeast Asia and Oceania put into enabling markets for our products and the reciprocal efforts our partners in the region engaged in as they move to achieve their individual, company and national goals. These wins are absolutely mutual,” said Caleb Wurth, regional director for Southeast Asia and Oceania.

The infographic can be used with customers during meetings, offered as “leave-behinds” and as examples in sharing the story of export demand and trade in agricultural profitability within the region. This content visually complements the market data showcasing the Council’s mission of developing markets, enabling trade and improving lives.
