April 1, 2010: Countdown to Cancun

CANCUN, MEXICO — The final countdown has started to the world feed industry's most significant event in 2010. It is the III Global Feed & Food Congress, which will open in Cancun, Mexico, on April 20, 2010.

“We are sure that this Cancun congress will be a banner meeting, both for Latin America and for the global feed sector,” says Roger Gilbert, secretary-general of the International Feed Industry Federation. “The number of people who have registered in advance to attend is extremely encouraging. From those registrations, we also know that prominent figures from livestock feed production around the world will be there.

“They recognize the importance of the congress as the place to be in 2010 to discuss the key issues affecting the industry’s future. The discussions will be led by 60 speakers, in sessions spread over three full days. Those speakers represent a wide variety of countries and they will bring an unrivalled expertise in their specialist fields.”

The III Global Feed & Food Congress (see http://www.globalfeed-food.com) runs on dates of April 20-23, 2010, and is hosted by the Mexican Feed Manufacturers Association, CONAFAB. It is being organized by the International Feed Industry Federation (IFIF) with technical assistance from the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
