On October 23rd, InnovPlantProtect (InPP) was present at the conference “Cereals in Portugal: From Volatility to Valorization” promoted by the Association of Protein, Oilseed and Cereal Producers (ANPOC) and which took place at NEW IMS - Campolide Campus, in Lisbon, and addressed fundamental issues related to cereal production in Portugal and the international market.
The main objectives of this meeting were to discuss how national cereal production is facing the challenges posed by the volatility of the international market. In addition, it sought to draw the attention of Portuguese public opinion to the critical issues in the international cereal market and to find ways of enhancing national production while guaranteeing minimum security stocks.
The colloquium was attended by experts and opinion leaders from the agricultural sector, including Rogério Ferreira, Director General of the Directorate General for Agriculture and Rural Development, Miguel de Castro Neto, Director of NOVA IMS, and Arnaud Petit, Executive Director of the International Grains Council.
One of the highlights of the event was the presentation of the project developed by ANPOC, in partnership with NOVA University and the National Rural Network. This project demonstrates how the agricultural sector in Portugal is evolving in a sustained and integrated way.
