Demonstrating American wheat farmers’ commitment to meeting global wheat demand, U.S. Wheat Associates recently participated in a USDA trade mission to Indonesia in early February. The trade mission highlighted U.S. Wheat’s efforts to support sales to the world’s fourth-most populous country. “U.S. Wheat sincerely values the hospitality of our Indonesian partners and the tireless efforts of USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service team in Jakarta,” said Joe Sowers, USW Regional Vice President for South and Southeast Asia, who participated in the mission. “The trade mission went beyond a series of meetings and site visits.” It was also an opportunity to participate in high-level meetings between U.S. and Indonesian counterparts to reaffirm the purchase commitments made by Indonesian millers in an effort to balance trade between the two countries. Sowers joined U.S. commodity, agribusiness, and government representatives on the trade mission. The delegation was led by USDA Undersecretary Luke Lindberg.
