Blаck Sea Grain Conference - is an international platform providing participants with an opportunity to meet and review all the important global tendencies and the newest market drivers to improve and sharpen their business strategies in the fast changing world.

Blаck Sea Grain Conference - is a large forum for participants of Black Sea grain and oilseeds markets.

Aim of the Conference:

The grain and oil crops market volatility will likely even to broaden in the nearest years bringing new challenges to farmers, traders, investors.

The global food security is influenced considerably both by grain production/climate and by the agrarian and export policies followed by the national governments. Arbitrary use of export restraints and bans promote lower confidence of the food importing countries in the global trading system as a guarantee of food security.

Poor weather in the Black Sea region could be combined with droughts in other parts of the world similar to 2012 situation aggravating the supply deficit in the world markets.

Though Black Sea region was hit by drought 2 times (2010 and 2012) for the last 4 years and local government took restrictive measures, its total grain exports do not decline below 22-25 Ml t playing considerable role in the ensuring the global food security and preventing the food prices from even broader volatility.

Ukrainian grain export contributed greatly in the calming the unpredictable world food commodity markets.
