About us

United Grain Corporation (UGC) is a bulk grain export company located in Vancouver, Washington USA. Formed in 1969, UGC quickly established itself as a premier wheat export company delivering high quality products to customers overseas and superior services to suppliers across the Pacific Northwest. The increase in world population coupled with the shift of food demand towards a more protein rich diet, propelled UGC to expand operations to include the handling of feed grains and oilseeds. In 2011 UGC embarked in a supply chain expansion to both inland and export terminals in order to accommodate an array of bulk product offerings: wheat, feed grains, and oilseeds. Today our Vancouver Export Terminal (VET) boasts the largest storage capacity on the US West Coast at 220,000 metric tons (8 million bushels) with an annual handling capacity of 5 million tons.

    🌾📸 Meet Carolyn Hotchkiss, a Grain Merchandiser from United Grain, and Betty Lu, her counterpart from Mitsui & Co. They are inspecting the quality of specialty barley in a beautiful Idaho field. 🌾 Quality is paramount to us and to the consumers who enjoy our products overseas and that's why we visit fields like this to ensure we are selling a quality product. This field of barley is particularly special. The barley here is used as a rice extender for "functional foods" in Japan, which are foods scientifically proven to offer health benefits beyond basic nutrition. These benefits can include improved digestion, enhanced immune function, and reduced risk of certain diseases. At United Grain, we're proud to contribute to the production of these beneficial foods, ensuring top quality every step of the way. 🌾🇺🇸➡️🇯🇵 #UnitedGrain #QualityCheck #BarleyField #FunctionalFoods #Japan #Agriculture #MitsuiAndCo #HealthyEating #GlobalTrade
