Food use remains the minority share of U.S. organic grain and oilseed demand. But as a market driver, its importance cannot be understated. From a product-side perspective, consumers demand organic cereal and oilseed crops as either animal feed in the form of meat, or as packaged food goods like boxes of cereal, crackers, bread, etc.
Christine Cochran, president of the Commodity Markets Council (CMC) in Washington, D.C., is the new executive director of the Grain Foods Foundation (GFF), Ridgway, Colo. GFF operates as an independent organization jointly trusteed by the American Bakers Association (ABA) and the North American Millers’ Association.
