Asian Buyers Look At North Dakota Soybeans

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A group of Asian soybean buyers is visiting eastern North Dakota.

The North Dakota Soybean Council is sponsoring the daylong event Friday that includes tours of area soybean farms, as well as the Colfax Farmers Elevator, Maple River Grain and Agronomy Elevator in Casselton, and the North Dakota State University commodity trade room.

The delegation represents the animal feed industry in the countries of Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam, Japan and Sri Lanka.

Soybean council officials say the trip is meant to promote business relationships and show the quality of North Dakota soybeans for livestock feed.
