Agro&Food Security 2024

Changing markets, changing the world

About

Are you ready for the changes that are waiting for the agricultural markets in the coming years?

Food prices are rising, trade wars and geopolitical conflicts are escalating. Climate disasters are leading to droughts and floods. Agri-food routes are blocked and logistics costs are rising. The global markets of grain, pulses and oil crops are undergoing unprecedented transformations.

How can we overcome these problems and ensure the smooth movement of agricultural products from field to market? Can processors minimize risks? What should traders do and how can they build their “Silk Road”? Get ready for a deep dive into analytics.

Agro & Food Security Forum 2024 will address the most pressing issues in the agro sector, processing, trade, and logistics. The event will take place for the third time in the heart of Europe – Warsaw, an ideal location for international meetings and bringing together agricultural market experts worldwide.

The organizers, the Community Of Pulse Producers And Customers Of Ukraine and the Polish-Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce, successfully gather over 300 participants from 25 countries every year. Time proves the relevance and demand for this event.

The forum will provide unique opportunities for exchanging experiences, finding business partners, and entering into advantageous contracts.
