The farmer-leaders signed a Global Grower Development Agreement between the US Soybean Export Council (USSEC) and the Argentinean Soybean Chain Association (ACSOJA). Farmer-leaders from the United Soybean Board (USB) and the American Soybean Association (ASA) were on hand to endorse the agreement, which focuses on removing barriers to trade to India.

The agreement with Argentina states that ACSOJA and USSEC agree to expand cooperation in the area of market development. The countries will focus building mutual benefit in marketing, technical assistance, and other areas for the global growth of the soy industry. A joint trip to India for farmer-leaders from both countries is scheduled for December.
