WHY ISTANBUL?
Turkey plays an important role in regional grain trade and food supply chains, while Istanbul has become a key meeting point for exporters, traders and importers working with African markets.
Istanbul connects suppliers from the Black Sea region with buyers from MENA and Africa, making it a natural hub for grain trade discussions and new business connections.
The city offers convenient international access for delegates from Africa, Europe, CIS and the Middle East, helping bring together a broader international audience.
