A Worldwide Presence for U.S. Wheat

U.S. Wheat Associates does behind-the-scenes work in 130 countries to boost the overseas consumption and encourage the sale of American wheat. USW activities meet the needs of several aspects to market development, including trade servicing and technical assistance, market analysis, and consumer promotion.

USW maintains its headquarters in Washington, DC, with an office in Portland, Oregon, and 15 overseas offices to implement its market development programs throughout the world. USW operates on both a regional and country basis, depending upon the needs and opportunities of the area. Each USW overseas office is staffed with highly qualified U.S. and local employees who are fluent in the languages of the area and experienced in the field of international grain marketing.

Eighteen wheat-producing states representing about 90% of the wheat grown in the U.S. help fund USW through wheat checkoff contributions.  This producer funding is matched by federal dollars earmarked for agricultural export promotion.

For more information on USW, see its website: www.uswheat.org.  There, you’ll find U.S. Wheat Export News, USW newsletters, USW’s annual crop quality report and other U.S. wheat export information.
