World Rice Commerce 2006

Finally, the event is over, the good was in the attendance and the support we gained from many of our friends in the business. Even better, we can confirm the next stop to be Bali, and judging by the comments made, we can expect everyone back.
I'm now getting ready for our annual coffee event, as well as a seminar of container shipping.

Must admit that the commodities world is finaly being recognised for its life-critical role in building economies and in the case of agri-commodities, food to the global table.

I still feel that GM will force the hand of the world to accept its offering as a solution to bringing food at a very cheap cost in spite of all the paranoia still around about "Frankenfoods" etc. Its only a matter of economics in the end, with a strong dose of politics.

Finally, on the back of our event in Vietnam, I will now work on a new project that takes us to the Americas for a rice event like no other.
Till next time.
