From Climate to Consumption: What to Expect in the Afternoon Discussion Panel



The afternoon discussion of Grain Academy 2025 brings together respected leaders from the grain industry to reflect on the broader challenges and opportunities shaping the sector. While rooted in practical experience, the debate addresses issues that resonate across markets and supply chains worldwide — not just in Bulgaria and the Balkans.

Key discussion points include:
  • Adapting to climate change – how producers and traders can navigate increasingly unpredictable weather and its impact on harvests.
  • Policy frameworks and regulations – implications of the Common Agricultural Policy and other regulatory pressures that influence competitiveness and sustainability.
  • Managing shortages and volatility – strategies for balancing supply gaps, stabilizing trade, and mitigating market risks.
  • The future of processing – how investments, technology, and consumer demand are redefining the role of processors in the grain value chain.
This panel offers practical insights into how businesses are adapting to structural shifts in agriculture, food security, and trade — with lessons that extend far beyond one market.
