In a few weeks, on September 14-15, the third international conference Asia Grains & Oils Conference in Tashkent 2023 will be held in Uzbekistan.
Trends and prospects for developing the global and Central Asian grain and flour markets in 2023/24 MY will be one of the topics discussed at the event. The focus will be on possible scenarios for its development in the current realities on the global stage and in the Central Asian region.
Among the speakers are representatives of well-known world organizations, as well as experts and direct participants in the grain market of Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan:
Alexander Karavaitsev, Senior Economist, International Grains Council (IGC, UK)
Aziz Nurbekov, FAO National Project Coordinator
Sheroli Donaev, Head of Department, JSC "Uzdonmakhsulot"
Sardor Abaskhanov, co-founder of Global Export
Daulet Uvashev, Director of Harvest Kazakhstan LLP
Sergey Domaev, Director, B-Agro Sever LLP
Saltanat Orazova, Quality Manager, LLP IP "SGS Kazakhstan Ltd"
Yevgenyi Gan, Chairman of the Board of Founders of the Association "Union of Grain Processors of Kazakhstan"
The speakers will share their forecasts and assessments of the development of the global wheat market, taking into account possible scenarios in the face of uncertainty, which are associated not only with the ongoing military conflict in the Black Sea region but also with El Niño.
Since Kazakhstan remains a key producer and exporter of wheat and flour in the Central Asian region and the main supplier of products to Uzbekistan, the situation in its market – production volumes in 2023/24 MY, quality, export potential, competition with Russian products and price trends – will be given special attention.
We will also talk about the 2023 wheat harvest in Uzbekistan and the demand of local flour mills for grain, trade conditions, and logistics aspects in the new season. Taking into account the geographical location of Uzbekistan, weather and climatic conditions, and limited water resources, the presentation of the FAO expert will raise the issues of introducing conservation agriculture in the country and obtaining two crops a year with its use.
A new topic within the framework of this event will be the market of pulses of Uzbekistan and the country's prospects for production and export potential.
