The broad theme of the IGC Grains Conference 2024 will be centred on the role of global trade in the context of volatile markets and food security. The event will provide the perfect platform for policymakers and industry leaders to engage in meaningful discussions surrounding key challenges in relation to climate change, protectionism, technological advances, as well as trade finance. A special geographical focus will assess emerging trends and business opportunities in the Eurasian grains and oilseeds sectors.
The Conference in recent years has broadened its target audience by involving companies across myriad related sectors, spanning production, trade, shipping and logistics, as well as banking and finance.
Established in 1949, the International Grains Council (IGC) is an intergovernmental organisation whose objectives are to further international cooperation in trade, promote expansion, openness and fairness in the sector and to contribute to market stability and enhance world food security. Currently, IGC membership comprises 56 countries. Such objectives are sought by improving transparency through information-sharing, analysis and consultation on market and policy developments. Grains, rice, oilseeds and pulses market conditions are monitored on a daily basis, through the circulation of a comprehensive daily report and the provision of web-based information services. Among other key services, weekly and monthly reports are provided. The flagship Grain Market Report, released monthly, provides detailed analysis and forecasts for global supply and demand across a range of commodities, spanning grains, rice, oilseeds, pulses and related agricultural products.
Being part of a series of related industry events under the banner “London Grains Week”, the International Grains Conference is a truly global platform for dialogue between policymakers and operators across the entire value chain. The event is held over two full days, the first of which is typically devoted to discussions surrounding the challenges, risks and opportunities in global trade. Day two of the event comprises a number of commodity-specific workshops, covering topical issues affecting markets for grains, rice, oilseeds, pulses and related sectors.
