ISA farmer leaders spent a day in Puebla visiting with the folks from RYC Company. USAPEEC's Jose Manuel Samperio was conducting one of the many technical workshops that Illinois soybean checkoff dollars support to educate importers on the quality and availability of new products. Following the workshop, Ramon Lozano, RYC director, gave us background on the company and how they have started using more U.S. poultry products to create value-added products. He talked about his company's goals to reach households with healthy, safe and affordable meals.
RYC hosted our lunch. They were promoting "trompollo;" a chicken version of the very common pastor taco traditionally made with pork and a new product they developed utilizing the turkey leg meat in a deep fried tortilla and a traditional mole'.
Our last plant tour was of the TIF plant which is nearly the same as our USDA plant inspection certification. After a very busy couple of days, we were able to see and understand firsthand how our soybean checkoff investment is helping our best customers.
