U.S. Grains Council President Ryan LeGrand, Growth Energy CEO Emily Skor, and Renewable Fuels President Geoff Cooper made an announcement this week postponing the 2020 Export Exchange to next year. The new dates will be October 6-8 of 2021 in Kansas City. “As a result of the coronavirus and our concern for the safety of our attendees who travel from around the globe to come to this event, we’ve decided to postpone Export Exchange until the same time next year,” the groups say in the joint announcement. “Doing so will ensure we will have an event that’s on par with the caliber of the meetings our guests have come to expect, and it will allow us to put on a high-quality event without the specter of COVID-19 hanging over the people there.” Export Exchange is a biennial event co-sponsored by the U.S. Grains Council, the RFA, and Growth Energy, and brings together about 200 international buyers and end-users of coarse grains and co-products, including dried distiller’s grains with solubles (DDGS), with around 300 U.S. suppliers and agribusiness representatives. More information will be distributed in the months ahead to members of the grains industries and will be made available online at www.exportexchange.org.
