Romanian Agri Trade Summit, one of the largest events addressed to International Agribusiness, will take place on February 22, 2023 in Bucharest.
The initiative aims to reconfirm Romania’s strategic role in global agribusiness and to bring together the most important players in the dynamic grain market – top Farmers, Traders, Processors and Distributors.
Romanian Agri Trade Summit brings to the attention of the public a novel concept in the industry, combining one to one business interactions with panel discussions and an extensive exhibition section.
Current pressing and major impact topics in agribusiness will be debated through a complex dialogue between reputable analysts, authorities, and major players in the local and international agricultural market.
The event is organized by AgriColumn and Godmother.
