USSEC’s Aquaculture Team Highlights Growth

Jamie Johansen

The U.S. Soybean Export Council (USSEC) global aquaculture team is led by Colby Sutter and was out in full force for their 2017 Aquaculture Educational Opportunity in Panama City, Panama. They each presented to soybean growers and researchers in attendance. I sat down with nearly the entire team having them sum up the market situation for their region, discuss challenges they face, highlight USSEC’s network of sharing best practices and share tactics being implemented leading them into the future.
