Brazil’s booming corn ethanol sector is set to consume over 30 million tons of corn annually, fundamentally reshaping local supply and creating ripple effects across global grain flows. This session will map how production capacity is expanding, how price dynamics are shifting between domestic and international benchmarks, and what these changes mean for trading companies worldwide.
Takeaway: Learn how Brazil’s ethanol growth is disrupting global corn markets and what opportunities and risks this presents for traders and buyers.
As global trade becomes increasingly exposed to geopolitical and regulatory risks, fraud and sanctions are reshaping how disputes are handled across jurisdictions. This session examines recent examples of fraud in international trade and shipping, as well as the mechanisms available to prevent and respond to it. It then deals with the legal and practical implications of sanctions regimes on international dispute resolution, both from a merits based perspective and from the perspective of enforcement. Participants will gain a clear understanding of how sanctions affect contract enforcement, arbitration, and settlement processes — and what measures can protect counterparties operating in complex trading environments.
Takeaway: Learn how fraud risks are affecting international trade and what mechanisms are available to address those risks. Understand how evolving sanctions frameworks are transforming dispute resolution in global trade — and discover practical steps to safeguard your business relationships and contracts in high-risk markets.
As trade routes continue to shift under geopolitical and market pressure, resilience in agri-supply chains depends increasingly on what happens downstream — in infrastructure, logistics, and processing. In this session, Atlas Corporation shares how the company has built flexibility across the Balkans and Mediterranean through targeted investment in storage, transport, and processing. The discussion explores how evolving financing, regulation, and partnerships are reshaping regional capacity — and what lessons other markets can draw as they adapt to ongoing volatility in global grain trade.
Takeaway: Learn how integrated regional infrastructure and smarter investment strategies can stabilise supply, protect margins, and create flexibility between origins and end-markets in times of trade disruption.
Volatility isn’t slowing in 2025. When signals are noisy and execution windows shrink, your edge isn’t “more data” — it’s how you carry uncertainty at the moment of execution. TradeState™ is a focused, hands-on session that blends medical science and executive coaching to equip trading professionals with practical, intraday tools to regulate the nervous system, restore focus and timing, and choose cleanly under pressure. Participants learn a simple protocol (regulate → refocus → respond), practice live drills they can use on the desk the same week, and apply the method to common commodity trading scenarios to reduce forced reversals and improve handoffs to risk and operations.
Takeaway: A usable, three-step protocol you can deploy intraday to make cleaner, faster decisions under pressure.
Biofuels markets are at a turning point, driven by new policy frameworks, tightening sustainability standards, and volatile feedstock supply. This session will explore the intersection between crop availability, renewable energy mandates, and global fuel demand — assessing how regulatory shifts in the US, EU, and Asia are shaping trade and investment in HVO, SAF, and biodiesel. Speakers will discuss how feedstock competition with food markets, evolving decarbonisation targets, and energy price volatility are redefining opportunities and risk in the biofuels value chain.
Takeaway: Gain clarity on how policy changes and feedstock competition are reshaping biofuel markets and influencing demand for vegetable oils.
Türkiye has built one of the world’s largest milling industries and plays a pivotal role as both importer and re-exporter of wheat and flour. At the same time, domestic policy, investment in storage capacity, and port infrastructure are shaping how the country connects Black Sea supply with Mediterranean and MENA demand. In this session, you will explore Türkiye’s position as a processing and logistics hub, the impact of policy on procurement and exports, and the innovations and capacity shifts influencing trade flows.
Takeaway: Understand how Türkiye’s milling and storage dynamics affect trade flows and pricing — and what this means for counterparties across the Black Sea, Med and MENA regions.
Saudi Arabia’s livestock and feed sectors sit at the heart of the region’s food security challenge — and at the centre of its water crisis. With agriculture consuming over 90% of the Kingdom’s freshwater, and forage crops alone accounting for nearly one-third of total use, the need for efficiency and innovation has never been greater. This session, explores how transitioning from traditional barley-based feeding to complete feed systems can save up to 30% of the Kingdom’s total water consumption while improving food self-sufficiency, reducing government subsidies, and supporting rural stability. The discussion will highlight lessons from ARASCO’s implementation of complete feed strategies, policy implications for water and food security, and what other arid regions can learn from Saudi Arabia’s evolving approach.
Takeaway: Gain a grounded understanding of how integrated feed reform can address both water scarcity and food security, with direct implications for sustainable livestock production and regional agri-trade resilience.
