Members and leaders of the U.S Soybean Export Council or USSEC have been busy working on several market opportunities. Not only are they looking at the more than fifty countries in Sub Saharan Africa where the population is exceeding one billion, they also have a specific soy education product in Nigeria. Working closely on that is USSEC Board member and Northwest Iowa farmer Brian Kemp.
He says the soy education program they’re putting together in Nigeria has the potential to be taken to other countries as well which will open up further market opportunities.
Kemp says other countries they’re trying to develop soy markets in include Pakistan, Egypt, India and Kenya.
Kemp says while China has been a very important market for America’s soybean farmers being able to develop these other markets is also critical to the success of the industry going forward.
