With more than 25 years of industry experience in international commodities trading and marketing supply chains, Guy H. Allen has been hired as the senior agricultural economist for the IGP Institute. Mr Allen is set to start his position at the IGP Institute on March 25, 2019.

In this role, Mr Allen will lead the IGP Institute grain marketing and risk management curriculum. Along with teaching on-site and on location courses, Mr Allen will serve as an outreach specialist where he will host teams and engage with IGP Institute stakeholders.
