Wheat importers from China and Hong Kong have a better understanding of ordering the type of wheat they want from the US, as well as how US wheat is processed and marketed, following a visit to Minnesota this fall.
Minnesota wheat producers, through their wheat checkoff, hosted a delegation consisting of four wheat purchasing managers and flour quality control personnel from the Garden Company and Lam Soon Foods.
However, the company wants to return to importing US West Coast origin wheat also, as they find their customer base disliking flours made from wheat originating in other countries, which is good news for the US, says Matt Weimar, with US Wheat Associates’ (USW) regional office in Hong Kong.

The trade dispute was prompted by complaints filed by the North Dakota Wheat Commission and other trade groups against the Canadian Wheat Board, which controls wheat marketing from the country's western provinces.
The Wheat Board dilutes risk so individual Canadian farmers can make money while selling at lower prices, said Alan Lee, a northwestern North Dakota farmer who is chairman of the U.S. Wheat Associates trade group.
The wheat board's lawyer, Richard Cunningham, said the fact that U.S. farmers who grow durum and hard red spring wheat can find buyers for all their grain shows the board is not hurting the U.S. market.
