28/05/2015: COCERAL elects Jaana Kleinschmit as President

Jaana Kleinschmit, member of the management board of ADM Hamburg Aktiengesellschaft, General Manager of Germany GmbH and representing the German grain trade association (VdG - Verein der Getreidehändler der Hamburger Börse e.V.), was elected President of COCERAL by the General Assembly that met on 22nd of May in Antwerp. 

Succeeding Paul Della Tolla, Jaana will serve a two-year term until 2017. After being elected, Jaana said she will strive to reinvigorate the commitment of members and to reinforce the cohesion of national associations towards COCERAL. 

“We live in a time when there are many opportunities for a thriving agricultural sector that also faces challenging constraints coming from EU policies. COCERAL will unite its membership to ensure that innovation and better regulation become the real guiding principles of EU policies, especially for agriculture. We need liberalised markets for agricultural trade that also meet increasing demands from consumers for healthy diets at affordable prices.” 

Jaana looks forward to working with the newly elected Presidium to bring fresh energy and ideas to COCERAL.
