Continuing his trade mission, Governor Greg Gianforte was joined by Director Jillien Streit promoting Montana’s high-quality commodities and growing industries meeting with Japanese trade and industry leaders.
“Japan has long been a critical market for Montana products, and we continue to see strong opportunities for wheat, beef, and advanced industries,” Gov. Gianforte said. “Montana delivers high-quality products and innovation, and we are committed to strengthening these partnerships for years to come.”
Gov. Gianforte began the day meeting with the Japan Flour Millers Association, joined by leaders from Nisshin Flour Milling, Nippn Corporation, Showa Sangyo, Chiba Flour Milling, and other Japanese companies. The Japan Flour Millers Association is an organization established by flour milling companies with the goals of deepening the ties between the member companies and improving and developing the flour milling industry. According to the association, around 90 percent of wheat in Japan comes from abroad, grown in the United States, Canada, and Australia, with around 10 percent produced domestically.
