Middle East Grains Congress 2013

Middle East Countries need to act urgently to improve food security. Projections of the region’s food balance indicate that dependence on imports will increase by almost 64% over the next twenty years. Going forward the region needs to deploy efforts to help offset vulnerability to future food price shocks by focusing on investment in three key areas:

• Strengthening safety nets;
• Enhancing food supply; and
• Reducing exposure to international commodity market volatility

The Middle East Grains Congress brings you an all new programme focusing on strategies to secure food supply, dealing with price volatility, and latest market updates for the grains industry. Meet and listen to our panel of experts from the purchasing region to know what are the demands like, changes in consumption trends and what to expect in the coming years from the region.
