A delegation representing the Specialty Soya and Grains Alliance is in Vietnam. While in Ho Chi Minh City, the group will participate in a broadcast with buyers from throughout Southeast Asia. SSGA Executive Director Eric Wenberg is promoting their identity-preserved brand. “They understand that they need to look at not just at a commodity price, but consider paying more to get a clean specific variety product that you need to make tofu, natto or those wonderful baked distilled food products you can make from rye, barley, corn and oats.” Supply chain headaches and the availability of containers will likely be part of the conversation. “We would say that rates and availability have eased in container traffic over the last year, but companies still struggle with some of the terms coming from the ocean carriers, like the earliest return date.” SB&B Foods President Todd Sinner, who is based in Casselton, North Dakota, is part of the international launch of the Specialty Soya and Grains Alliance identity preserved brand.
