At the intersection of continents, trade corridors, and grain flows, Türkiye occupies a uniquely strategic position in the global grain and milling landscape. Located between major grain-exporting origins in the north and key grain-importing markets in the south, Türkiye serves not only as a geographical bridge, but also as a vital commercial, logistical, and industrial link in the international grain value chain.

As one of the world's leading flour milling nations and home to a highly dynamic, export-oriented, and technologically advanced milling industry, Türkiye provides the ideal setting for a forward-looking global dialogue on grain trade, processing, food security, and innovation.

Held alongside IDMA 2026 — the renowned international exhibition for flour, feed, corn, semolina, rice, bulghur milling machinery, as well as pulses, pasta, and biscuit technologies — the IDMA Global Grain & Milling Forum will bring together senior executives, traders, millers, policymakers, analysts, technology providers, and sector stakeholders for two days of high-level discussion, market intelligence, and strategic networking.

The forum will explore key topics including:

• Global grain market outlook and changing trade dynamics
• Türkiye's strategic role between supply and demand regions
• New technologies in milling and grain processing
• Food security and nutrition strategies
• Sustainable milling and climate-smart grain systems

At a time when the grain industry is being reshaped by geopolitical tensions, climate risks, supply chain volatility, and technological transformation, the forum offers a timely platform to exchange ideas, build partnerships, and generate solutions.
