U.S. Wheat: Meeting Global Demand
HOME > BUYER'S GUIDE
The U.S. Wheat Store is Always Open
Knowing that markets need quick and accurate deliveries of wheat with specified qualities, the U.S. has established a sophisticated and extensive storage and transportation infrastructure, moving over 60 million metric tons of wheat each year, and an unsurpassed export grain inspection system.

U.S. marketing logistics and port facilities are designed to meet the world’s most vigorous trading demands. Shipping from the Atlantic, Pacific, Gulf and St. Lawrence ports enables an unhindered flow of wheat into export channels throughout the year. The U.S. wheat store is always open.

The U.S. wheat market system may seem complex to new buyers, but learning how to designate quality specifications, contractual terms, and shipment arrangements will yield surprisingly good value for the cost.

More Information
The U.S. is the world's largest wheat exporter, but U.S. Wheat Associates (USW) does not buy nor sell U.S. wheat. This market strength confers a responsibility on the U.S. wheat industry, and USW's commitment to helping customers get the wheat they want at the best value possible is second-to-none.

It is strongly encouraged that U.S. wheat buyers make their first point of contact with a local USW office. Our representatives, some with more than 30 years of relevant experience, are prepared to help buyers before, during, and after the sale. Click here to find the USW office nearest you.
