A new conference ‘Agri-Markets 2010 at Agritechnica’ this year aims to provide an overview of global crop markets as well as the factors that are likely to influence these markets in the short to mid-term. At the heart of agriculture’s markets are issues of long term market fundamentals like the factors that determine demand and supply of agricultural products like the income development or the growing supply of agricultural “tiger states”  – are these core issues in place?

At Agri-Markets 2010, expert speakers from the industry will provide detailed analysis of current market trends, including the possible impacts of agricultural negotiations at the WTO, and an analysis of recent developments in the global supply and demand for grain, oilseed and livestock products. The impact of the financial crisis, repercussions on global trade, and sources of agri-market volatility will also be examined.

Putting a practical tone to discussions, the ongoing developments in the Russian agricultural market, a current hot topic, will also be addressed by Alexander Korbut, Vice president of the Russian Grain Union

Organised by the DLG together with the German Farmers' Association(DBV), the conference is free to all with prior registration is required. The conference has German and English simultaneous translation.
