The conference will take place as a part of the GRAPAS exhibition, co-located with FIAAP and VICTAM, to form the exhibition you know as FVG Select 2017.
While the best of rice and flour milling companies populate the GRAPAS exhibition hall, the GRAPAS 2017 conference will invite some of the brightest minds in milling to discuss the industry’s future development.
Industry leaders will share their knowledge surrounding three core topics:
o Milling Materials - Varieties, nutrition and health
