For the first time since 2018, the shipment of US corn has reached Bangladesh. The US Embassy of Bangladesh accepted this shipment at Chittagong port on Wednesday.
The shipment was shipped from the port of Vancouver, Washington, USA.
The shipment includes 57,855 metric tons of yellow corn produced in North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota during the 2025–26 crop season.
An official of United Grain Corporation (UGC), one of the leading grain exporters of the United States, said, ‘We are proud to be part of the first shipment of US corn to Bangladesh in the last eight years. We are grateful to all those who have contributed to the implementation of this initiative. We are interested in supplying US grain to Bangladesh in the coming years as well.’
This supply allows feed manufacturers in Bangladesh to use high-quality US corn as a reliable source of animal nutrition.
US Embassy Agricultural Attache Erin Covert visited Chittagong port to mark the ship’s arrival. At that time, he was accompanied by an alliance consisting of the buyers of the three main animal feed producers of Bangladesh Nahar Agro Group, Paragon Group and Narish Poultry and Hatchery Limited.
