What is the IGC International Grains Conference about?

The IGC event has been extended to 20 June 2018 with 3 workshops.

This will provide a unique opportunity for stakeholders to enter into dialogue with the IGC secretariat to discuss further challenges. This year the workshops will address issues regarding technical barriers to trade in grains, new trends in oilseeds demand and the use of sustainable production in tackling the instability in the rice market.

The IGC International Grains Conference is a well-established event attracting each year hundreds of delegates coming from over 50 different countries and representing the entire grain supply chain from producers, exporters, traders, brokers, processors, trade associations, inspection services, shipping and logistics companies.

The programme will focus not only on the traditional topics related to the supply, demand and market trends, but also on investment opportunities, risk management, trade finance, new farming technologies, robotics, crop monitoring, grain storage, logistics and shipping.
