USSEC recently conducted two seminars for the feed industry in Mexico.  Consultants Gerardo Luna, Carlos Lopez Coello and Christian Villamil from CIH conducted a seminar in Queretaro to update purchasing representatives and nutritionists on poultry production and to leverage the audience’s understanding of purchasing quality feedstuffs.  Thirty-five people representing purchasing in the feed industry came from seven Mexican states.  This event was co-sponsored by one of the two leading feed industry associations in Mexico.

Mr. Luna and Mr. Villamil next traveled to La Piedad to conduct the second seminar that introduced a group of hog producers to risk management in order to further their understanding of price management practices.  Thirty swine producers and processors attended this session, which was co-sponsored by the State of Michoacán Regional Association of Hog Producers.  Mr. Luna and Mr. Villamil also met with a key customer in Queretaro, interacted with feed and livestock producers and organizations, and met with a feed industry association representative to help them better leverage their risk management project.
