APK-Inform Agency announces about holding of the international conference "Ukrainian soybean market - 2012", which will focus on the market of soybean, and takes place in Yalta on May 16-18, 2012. It should be noted that for the first time in Ukraine there will be held the major event devoted to the most dynamically growing segment of the domestic oilseed market.

At the same time, processing capacities of the country are not keeping up with the boom of production to date production of soybean in Ukraine far exceeds the volume of the oilseed processing. According to estimations of APK-Inform Agency, in the current year the Ukrainian enterprises will process nearly 300,000 tons of soybean. What is the main reason for this situation? In order to answer this and other important questions it is required to estimate the current market situation, make an analysis of the prospects for development of the market of soybean and by-products, and identify new ways to develop the market of soybean industry.

The business climate of the event will allow discussing current trends on the markets of soybean and by-products of Ukraine, Russia and other CIS countries, and various medium-term forecasts for the market of soybeans. The main concept of the conference to provide the maximum volume of high-quality and unbiased information to market participants concerning the condition and development of the Ukrainian, Russian and world markets of soybeans and by-products in 2011/12 MY, and ways for further effective development of the industry.
