2nd Annual Middle East Grains Congress 2012

The outlook for grains in 2011/12 remains very tight, even though the world carryout projection was lifted from last month to reflect somewhat higher than anticipated stocks at the beginning of the year. An increase in the global crop forecast is largely absorbed by a higher consumption figure, mainly in the feed sector. International Grains Council, Grain Market Report, 28 July 2011 . With Middle East relying heavily on imports, food security and price inflation in the region are often an issue. How can the region prepare itself in the face of likely agricultural supply shocks?

Don’t miss out on the 2nd Annual Middle East Grains Congress 2012 in Dubai, where all major players in the grains market come together to hear about market updates, price outlook, supply security, and network with decision makers to form new business opportunities.
