Recently, SCAFCO Grain Systems’ Regan Heaton was appointed to the Middle East/Africa Advisory Team by the U.S. Grains Council. Founded in 1960, The U.S. Grains Council is a private, non-profit corporation that develops export markets for U.S. barley, corn, grain sorghum, and other related products. Currently, the council has nine international offices and programs in more than 50 countries.
The advisory teams are an important asset to the council and play an important part in developing the council’s priorities and strategies. Regan’s term with the Middle East/Africa Advisory Team will last for two years. During that term, Regan will participate in meetings which contribute to the development of Council programs for stimulating demand and preference for U.S. coarse grains imports into the Middle East/Africa area.
