Preferred Popcorn, LLC is headquartered in Chapman, Nebraska in the fertile Platte River Valley of central Nebraska. The 100 percent farmer-owned company grows and processes premium bulk popcorn. Their delicious corn is grown and sold as bulk, microwave, all-in-one kits, and smaller 2-lb bags.

With 48 employees, half the company’s jobs are directly supported by exports to top country destinations such as TPP partners Mexico and Japan and FTA partner Colombia, as well as China, Indonesia, and the Philippines.

Company staff Rosi Hernandez says that the company has benefitted from past FTAs and cites examples of shipments to Mexico and Colombia. The company’s export sales support jobs in both Nebraska and their location in Palmyra, Indiana.
