The opening panel, "Navigating Trade in a Time of Abundance. Market trends and S&D for 2025" will set the tone for the day with a strategic review of the global grain and oilseed balance. Market experts including Isabelle Tranter (Aura Commodities, UK), José Ángel Olivero García (Lipsa, Spain), Christina Serebriakova (ASAP Agri / Atria Brokers, Ukraine), and Malak Al Akiely (Golden Wheat, Jordan) will discuss how global weather patterns, consumption trends, and regional trade dynamics will shape the 2025/26 season.
The second panel, “Balkan countries - specifics of the region and opportunities” will explore how national markets across the region — from Türkiye and Greece to Bulgaria, Romania, and Serbia — are adapting to new realities in production and trade. Moderated by Zornitsa Yovcheva (Cargill Bulgaria), the discussion will feature regional professionals including Iren Akyüz (Rotel, Türkiye), Felicia Ion (Comcereal Vrancea, Romania), Anastasios Thanos (Loulis Food Ingredients, Greece), and Aleksandar Mačkić (Delta Agrar, Serbia), each bringing first-hand insights from one of the world’s most competitive grain corridors.
On October 29, a day before the main conference, Grain Academy 2025 will host a specialized Risk Management Seminar led by Euronext and ADM Investor Services International (ADMIS) as part of the event Parallel program.
The training, “Derivatives and Hedging – Practical Tools for Grain and Oilseed Markets,” will be delivered by Alexandre Bobylov (Euronext) and Ryan Easterbrook (ADMIS), providing practical, market-driven insights into how price risk management tools can be applied to navigate volatility in agricultural commodities.
The session is exclusive to registered participants and serves as a valuable addition to the main conference program.

Along a day packed with insightful discussion panels, Grain Academy 2025 also offers a dedicated space for networking and exhibition — where business meets innovation.
Here, leading companies showcase practical solutions to many of the challenges addressed on stage, transforming dialogue into action.
This year’s exhibitors include Euronext, ADM Investor Services (ADMIS), Sitagri, DSK Bank, and Lukoil — organizations whose expertise and technology continue to drive efficiency, transparency, and sustainable growth across the grain and oilseed value chain.
And when the conference program concludes, the conversations continue — this time in a more relaxed and inspiring setting at the Networking Afterparty. Set in one of Varna’s most vibrant venues, the Afterparty brings together the industry for an evening of genuine connection. Its a perfect opportunity to learn about the people who move the Black Sea & Balkans grains – beyond the spreadsheets and the formalities.
Join us in celebrating the people behind the trade, and the energy that drives our industry forward.
Connecting ideas, sharing experience and building partnerships – because trade moves markets, but people move trade.
