The mission, sponsored and organized by the corn council and the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, met with corn wet millers, dry millers, feed compounders, and straight feeders in Portugal, Spain, England, Belgium, and West Germany. Members of the trade mission also met with European Economic Community (ECC) officials in Brussels. "The mission was successful in making various members of the EEC aware of Ontario corn and its quality," says Krech, who pointed out that the mission purpose was to gather information which may lead to future sales. Ontario can expect the best results in Europe by concentrating on industrial users who demand higher quality product. Using Ontario corn, European processors can get a higher yield of products such as corn flakes, starch, corn oil and grits for the distilling and brewing industry. Corn shipped to Europe from southwestern Ontario has fewer broken kernels and less corn dust — known in the industry as fines — than product from other coun- tries. This results in higher yields for the end-users in Europe. Ontario corn is moved directly from the fields into ships on the nearby St. Lawrence Seaway and therefore requires less handling, he said. This results in less breakage than in other areas where the corn may move through a number of elevators before reaching the ship. Krech said that although Euro- pean wet millers are not happy with the quality of EEC corn, they have no option but to use it because of the price differential created primarily by the EEC im- port levy. European dry millers will probably continue to use harder Argentinian plate -type flint corn for their products, he said.
