Through the support of grower assessment dollars, the Idaho Wheat Commission hosted a trade team from the Japan Biscuit Association (JBA) in Northern Idaho this week. Representing 25 manufacturers that produce 90% of Japan’s biscuit market, JBA relies on U.S. Western White wheat—a blend of club and soft white wheat—for their products. During their visit, the trade team toured the Lewis-Clark Terminal, the largest grain storage facility on the inland river system, and the Lower Granite Dam, highlighting the vital role of the Columbia–Snake River System in transporting Idaho wheat to global markets. Idaho Wheat Commissioner Cliff Tacke hosted the team for a farm tour and lunch, where they learned firsthand about the sustainable farming practices that help maintain Idaho’s reputation for exceptional wheat quality.
