Animal Farming Ukraine 2012: Pavilion news

VICTAM and FIAAP will host a pavilion at Animal Farming Ukraine, October 31 - November 2, 2012.


"GROWING YOUR BUSINESS"

In 2012, Ukraine will develop and finance from the state budget regional programmes to develop dairy cattle breeding.
 

The programme of pig breeding development in Ukraine plans to more than double the head of livestock by 2015.
 

The current growth rate of poultry production in Ukraine allows us to forecast an increase in the rate of more than 30 percent by 2015.

Just a few of some recent statements from the Ukrainian Government that demonstrate their determination to invest in their livestock development over the next few years. This in turn will have a positive impact on the growth and investment of Ukraine's animal feed industry.

There will be a VICTAM and FIAAP Pavilion at Animal Farming Ukraine 2012 exhibition following the success of the 2011 show. There were 136 companies from all over the world exhibiting at the 2011 show. Almost 6000 industry professionals visited the event and the Organisers found from their survey of these visitors that animal feed production is one of the top 4 reasons to visit the exhibition.

Preparations are well under way for the 2012 exhibition at which it is expected there will be over 150 exhibitors together with a corresponding increase in the visitors. 

Below a number of companies that recently booked their stand:
CPM
ICK
Sioux Steel Company
SYMAGA

Syria importing grain via Lebanon

Syria is importing significant volumes of grain via Lebanon to work around western sanctions and secure vital supplies, European traders told Reuters.

The trade is not illegal because food imports are not included in sanctions imposed by the European Union, the United States and other Western countries on President Bashar al-Assad's government over his crackdown on a revolt, writes Michael Hogan.

New countries gain flour fortification status

Flour fortification status is growing and growing.  In fact, the number of countries with mandatory wheat flour fortification has more than doubled in last eight years. 

The latest additions to the flour fortification momentum are Moldova, Benin, and Togo. This makes 68 countries with such legislation, compared to 33 when FFI was formally launched in 2004.

“The growth in countries passing legislation is the result of the determination of country leaders to improve the health of their populations and the hard work of our many public, private, and civic sector partners,” says Scott Montgomery, FFI Director. “This milestone of doubling the number of countries is an achievement we can all celebrate.”

According to a report in Portage Online by Kelvin Heppner, millers are worried they may no longer be able to consistently expect high quality wheat from Canada.
Senior milling industry executives from five South and Central American countries were in Manitoba last week participating in the Canadian International Grains Institute (CIGI) Latin America-Canada Milling Program. They warned that the restriction changes may encourage farmers to grow lower quality grain.
 
In April, the Canadian Wheat Board stopped funding the CIGI program which regulated imports of Canadian wheat to Columbia. The organisation is now funded by farmers, industry partners and the federal government.
