The 6th Annual GlobalGrain Conference in Geneva

Tuesday 18 –Thursday 20 November 2008

The world’s premier trading event in the grain calendar, GlobalGrain attracts over 600 delegates from 50 countries

Geneva is the prime location for the leading trading companies in grain, oilseeds, soft commodities and energy markets

Global Commodities Group would like to thank the Premier sponsor: BNP Paribas, the headline sponsors: SGS, CME Group, Holman Fenwick Willan, Swiss Grain Traders, Euler Hermes and Aciter Inspection, the supporters: eSignal, AgResource, Reuters, World Grain, Agrinews, US Wheat Associates, CWB, Promport Service and all the exhibitors.

The presentations at GlobalGrain2007 predicted an 07/08 campaign of tight grain supplies and increased prices but perhaps not to “never- seen- before” levels.

The presentations at GlobalGrain2008 will highlight predictions for the 08/09 campaign as well us keeping delegates abreast of influences on the grain market and other topics of interest.

The presentations will include:

• World grain outlook for 08/09

• European export surpluses and where the demand will be

• Freight market predictions for 08/09

• Economic and government influences for grain production in Eastern Europe

• Legal issues- how to avoid trouble

• The “non- grain” influences in the market and how to deal with them

• The service industry and their role for healthy grain trading

(Collateral management, credit, weather, documentation, inspection)

• The futures market- a panel discussion

• A panel involving the CME, a leading agricultural bank, a commodity fund and the agricultural industry (producer and consumer) will discuss the situation and how best to find solutions to reinstate a hedging mechanism that works.
