About 50 percent of rice grown in the U.S. is exported to 120 countries around the globe. The vast majority goes to consumers in the western hemisphere, so very appropriate that Asiha Grigsby, who oversees rice promotions in the region joined us to talk about her recent trip to Peru and the delegation of Central Americans she hosted in the mid-South. And newly back from U.S. rice day in the UK, Peter Bachmann joins us to talk about trade agreements, the UK, Haiti, and India.

With special guests:

Asiha Grigsby, USA Rice, director international promotion Western Hemisphere and Peter Bachmann, USA Rice, vice president policy and government affairs

Hosted by:

Michael Klein and Lesley Dixon
