state/ national
Program may contribute
to American grain sales
United Press International
MANHATTAN, Kan. —
Kansas State University’s inter
national grains program, which
pulls in representatives from
countries around the globe, has
a major purpose — selling
American wheat.
The program, featuring
seminars throughout the year
for grain buyers from Taiwan
and China to Sweden and New
Zealand, is a hard-sell promo
tional campaign in an educa
tional package. More than 400
people have passed through the
program this year.
Director Charles W. Deyoe
says the program, which hosts its
latest seminar this week for far
mers on export grain market
ing, is designed to educate fore-
ign grain purchasers and per
suade them to buy U.S. grain.
He said the program tries to
bring in international buyers
and give them technical training
in processing and utilizing U.S.
commodities.
In short, the plan is a public
relations play to show off Amer
ican grain and convince foreign
buyers that U.S. crops are a bet
ter deal than the competition’s,
such as Canada.
The cost of the program is an
added attraction — the U.S. gov
ernment helps pick up the tab.
Including meals and lodging,
the cost for the short courses
runs $600 to $1,000 depending
on the amount of travel, Deyoe
said. The state of Kansas pays
part of the bill.
Deyoe did not say how much
money the federal government
is spending to bring foreign
buyers to the United States to
promote U.S. grain. An earlier
two-week milling program for
24 people cost $30,040, exclud
ing airfare. About $9,000 of that
cost was for an interpreter.
The program offers informa
tion in several different lan
guages on milling, feed manu
facturing and grain merchan
dising and marketing.
The three-day seminar which
begins today is for American
farmers and features speakers
from U.S. Wheat Associates and
the U.S. Feed Grains Council in
Washington as well as represen
tatives of some of the world’s
largest grain storage and mar
keting Firms.
Representatives from the
U.S. Department of Agriculture
will attend and a milling division
manager from Colombia will
give and importer’s side of the
story.
But the international grains
program’s usual fare is for the
people responsible for purchas
ing grain for other countries,
not for the farmers producing
America’s food crops.
Since its creation in 1978, the
program has produced semi
nars on subjects such as grain
grading and inspection, trans
portation, wheat milling prop
erties and the nutritive value of
wheat.
The program’s students have
been representatives from Saudi
Arabia, Japan, Kenya, Vene
zuela, Portugal, Yugoslavia,
Egypt and nearly two dozen
other countries.
“The basic thing they want to
know is ‘what can you tell us ab
out the quality (of U.S. grain)?”’
Deyoe said.
They want to know about
milling quality, yields and utili
zation for food products, he
said.
Of course, the foreign repre
sentatives can take the course in
Kansas, using U.S. funds, and
go home and apply the know
ledge to grains purchased from
a U.S. competitor. But Deyoe
and others involved in the prog
ram know that is a risk taken in
all promotional campaigns.
“We hope when they go home
they will be better customers of
the United States,” Deyoe said.
