市场发展努力与美国农业部ATP基金激增

New funding to the U.S. Grains Council (USGC) from the Agricultural Trade Promotion (ATP) Program - part of a larger “trade aid” package offered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in the wake of new tariffs and global market uncertainty - will expand the organization's global footprint and dramatically increase the promotion effort it undertakes for feed grains products, especially ethanol.

USGC从一次性计划授予1400万美元，为美国农业和食品的海外市场开发工作的组织授予共2亿美元。

大部分资金将用于大幅扩大USGC的乙醇计划，它与玉米和高粱核糖组织，增长能源和可再生燃料协会以及美国农业部协会坐标。资金也将用于刺激现有和未开发的谷物市场的新需求，并探索具有需求承诺的增值产品的新方法。

“What I’m most excited about is separate programs for both East and West Africa, looking at the feed industry there in addition to other places like Southern Mexico...and even places like South Asia, India, Pakistan, Myanmar, places like that where we have infant programs and we can put this money to work expanding them,” Sleight said in an interview this week with the NAFB News Service.

“[ATP]允许我们的全球员工释放他们在世界各地的创造力。我们总是要求他们思考广泛，现在我们注入了新的资源......这将使他们能够扩大他们的努力，并扩大他们进入世界各地的深度。“

USGC收到的ATP基金将在成功的市场开发和营销计划上建立，并通过理事会成员 - 玉米，高粱，大麦和乙醇生产商以及通过市场访问计划（地图）和外国的Agibusinesses和美国农业部市场发展（FMD）计划。

“所有这些方案共同努力利用生产者的投资，他们自己的审查投资，利用他们在世界各地的存在，我们认为将成为未来几年的大部分需求的大驾驶员，”在面试中说道。

委员会根据安理会的全球员工和成员国提出了USGC提交的思考，根据他们对组织运行方案的50多个市场的深刻理解，产生了成员。与USGC运营的所有计划一样，每项努力都旨在解决特定市场的特定制约，以此市场的文化，经济和政治背景。

虽然由地图和FMD资助的努力往往是解决长期要求的限制，但ATP资助的计划将旨在尽快在下几年内表现出成功。

“The sectors are saying we want to see some new demand drivers coming into the marketplace, and that’s exactly what these programs are intending to create, new drivers of demand, areas that are going to put a spark into the international global demand formula that will generate additional sales, price support and expanded returns for growers,” Sleight said. “That’s what it’s all about.”
