Energy and agriculture were top of mind as a delegation from North Dakota traveled to Japan last week. The group was led by North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum. Fargo, North Dakota-based Genesis Feed Tech CEO Peter Schott stayed a few extra days in Tokyo. “Japan likes doing business with people in North Dakota.They like the quality of commodities out of the north. These people want to see the supply chain improved to have a closer relationship of who they’re buying from.” Genesis Feed Tech has a software platform that looks at the nutritional characteristics of animal feed for global buyers. It highlights the benefits of buying higher quality soybeans, corn or other products from the United States. Working with the U.S. Soybean Export Council, Schott is familiar with many countries, but Japan is new territory. “It’s fun to see how that’s received in a country like this.”
