IGC Grains Conference 2020

The International Grains Council (IGC) would like to inform you that our annual conference will be held virtually this year on 10th June 2020.

The IGC Grains Conference is a very well-established conference attracting for the past three decades hundreds of participants coming from over 65 different countries and representing the entire grain supply chain (grains, soybeans, oilseeds, pulses and rice) from producers, exporters, importers, traders, brokers, financial services, processors, trade associations, inspection services, shipping and logistics companies, etc… to policy makers and government officials as a UN trade and Development agency. This is a unique platform and a must-attend event for any professional involved and interested in commodities.

One of the Highlights of the conference will be the presentation of a SOYTOOL KIT:

Soy Toolkit :supporting the companies in the responsible sourcing of soy

Pedro Amaral, Head of Program Proforest UK

The Soy Toolkit is designed to support companies in the responsible sourcing of soy. It is an accessible guide to the many initiatives which aim to decouple soy production and trading from deforestation, conversion of native vegetation and human rights violations.

The Soy Toolkit is structured around each of the five key elements of the soy responsible sourcing process:

Element 1 – assess and plan implementation

Element 2 – understand supply chain risks

Element 3 – engage suppliers

Element 4 – establish a purchase control system

Element 5 – monitor, verify and report
