Key Programs and Services
The Wheat Marketing Center (WMC) exists on the technical crossroads of the international wheat industry, providing technical training and grower workshops, innovative research, product development, and crop quality testing services. WMC focuses on promoting U.S. wheat by demonstrating its quality and functionality in Asian noodles, crackers and biscuits, tortillas and flatbread, and other baked products. Pilot scale production lines (pictured above), state-of-the-art quality testing equipment, and rich technical expertise provide great value to our state wheat commission partners, wheat industry stakeholders, and millers and food manufacturers around the world.
This Week: July 22-28
This week WMC hosts visits from both Simplot Grower Solutions and the Oregon State University (OSU) Turkish Cochran Fellowship. Dave Stone, former Director of FIC, brings a group of scientists, Agriculture and Science ministry officials, farm cooperatives and food industry representatives to learn more about climate smart agricultural practices in the US and the role of WMC in the crop quality process. On Wednesday, WMC recognizes the achievements of our longtime neighbor and partner OSU Food Innovation Center (FIC) at their 25th Anniversary celebration. FIC is an incubator and educational partner to food and beverage makers in the Portland area and throughout the state.
