4th SE Asia Grain Transport Conference

 

 ASA International Marketing (ASA-IM) and US Grain Council (USGC) are pleased to present the 4th SE Asia Grain Transportation Conference to be held at the St. Regis, Singapore, from April 28-30, 2010. Themed "Shipping and Supply Chain in the Next Decade", this year's expert panel of presenters, from both the industry and academia, will be sharing their perspective on the changing landscape in international trade and ocean transportation for agricultural products in the near future.

Increasingly competitive and integrated, the business of moving agricultural products from producers to consumers has seen dramatic changes these past 7 years. With an ever growing global population and the demands that come with it, it is essential for agri businesses and their cooperators to identify the drivers of change in global food and feed ingredient sourcing in order to formulate the right strategies and solutions for their companies - the main subject that this conference aims to address.

In response to feedback from our customers, we are introducing a special segment this year; breakout sessions for participants to raise specific questions and concerns relating to their businesses. Join us in another trademark ASAIM-USGC event that is dedicated to service and excellence.
