Global Agricultural Commodities Market Seminar

The Rob Fisher Memorial Seminar

The Association is delighted that Mark Feight has once again agreed to host our seminar on the afternoon of the Annual Dinner.  As a risk management expert in the agribusiness it will no doubt be an informative, current and thought provoking free seminar which you cannot afford to miss.

The 2016 seminar was entitled “Helping You Grow In More Ways Than One, Understanding Risks” which discussed numerous factors including what had been harvested globally in 2016 and the acreage of corn, soya beans and wheat both in the US and Europe for the coming year. What impact the weather had as well as the growing markets of ethanol and gasoline both in terms of stocks, production and supply and demand. 

Following the seminar Mark kindly sends the Association a copy of his presentation which he allows us to distribute and it could prove to be a useful reference tool.  

International Agribusiness Group LLC is an independent consultancy firm with an unrelenting passion for food and agriculture.    They work with businesses exposed to agricultural commodity price risks and they continue to define itself by the legacy of Rob’s vision to be expert, ethical and confidential consulting services.
