The Critical Strategic Events on the Agribusiness Calendar!

The co-location of the Global Soybean & Grain Transport and Soya & Oilseed Summit events will once again create unparalleled opportunities for learning, networking and doing business for participants throughout the value chain!

The fifth annual Soya & Oilseed Summit will offer strategies for sustainable growth in agricultural production, processing and transportation worldwide. Leading industry authorities will again present incisive commentary rarely found in a single venue. Subjects to be addressed include: supply and demand trends in soybeans, oilseeds, grains and derivative products worldwide; potential effects of changes in international trade policies; applications for industry-changing technological innovations; and the results of sustainability initiatives and other consumer-fostered trends. The Soya & Oilseed Summit is a key venue for soybean and oilseed producers, processors, importers and exporters; manufacturers of food, animal feed, biofuels and bio-based industrial products; technology, equipment and service providers; trade groups, government agencies and academics.

The third annual Global Soybean & Grain Transport event will build a vital network of international agricultural commodity buyers and sellers in a quickly-expanding trade show venue, while continuing to provide the most important information about international trade of commodities. The 2010 program is anticipated to forecast the growth of international agribusiness as the world emerges from recession; help industry participants plan for future freight transportation infrastructure expansion around the world; explain the effects of international regulations and government policies on global trade; and engage all sectors of the ag transportation industry in planning solutions to common problems. As usual, Global Soybean & Grain Transport will include "behind the scenes" tours of local industry facilities and an active trade show floor.

Gary Martin, NAEGA
Thomas Mielke, Oil World
Thomas Vilsack, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture

Dr. Peter Goldsmith, National Soybean Research Laboratory

WHAT OTHER INDUSTRY MEMBERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT GLOBAL SOYBEAN & GRAIN TRANSPORT / SOYA & OILSEED SUMMIT

"I've never seen such a large group of worldwide agriculture experts in one room. The diverse experience and knowledge of attendees and speakers was remarkable. The Commodity Shipping Tour was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to not only see several massive export facilities behind the scenes, but also hear from the experts who are responsible for their operation and profitability. Soyatech clearly went above and beyond by pulling off the most comprehensive soybean event of the year in their signature, classy style."
- Mark Albertson, Illinois Soybean Association -

"Soyatech did an excellent job of putting together a first class Conference and Trade Show. I found all sessions relevant and informative. With a strong focus on containerized transportation, our exhibit of liners, bulkheads and the introduction of an engineered bracing system was a hit. Anyone involved in any aspect of the specialty grains and soybean business would certainly benefit in attending this event."
- Garry Widynowski, Norseman -

"The present and future profitability of agriculture is strongly linked to the quality of our transportation system. The Global Soybean and Grain Transport Conference highlights the challenges and opportunities facing agricultural products in the journey from farm to dinner plate. The conference also affords attendees the opportunity to network and interact with many of the key players in the overall ag logistics chain."
- Mike Steenhoek, Soy Transportation Coalition -

"We can think of no better way to promote Missouri's agribusiness advantages - including a robust plant biotech cluster, ongoing research in biofuels technology, and a central U.S. location - than to spend this entire week among top executives and pre-eminent thought leaders from the industry."
- Chris Chung, Missouri Partnership -
