Meeting with FEDEMOL

Today, the team met with the Colombian Millers Association, for FEDEMOL, which was having its meeting in Bogota. Over lunch, the group discussed the pending Colombian trade agreement with the U.S., as well as wheat quality and dockage issues from the U.S. and how to improve consumer demand of bread in Colombia.
