The Countdown to the HUBUDER Conference Has Begun: The Grain Sector to Gather in Ankara
Registration is still open for the HUBUDER (Grain Suppliers Association) conference, regarded as one of the key gatherings of Turkey’s grain sector. The “11th International Conference: Towards the 2026 Harvest – Grain in Turkey and the World” will take place in Ankara on 4–5 June 2026.
The event will be hosted at the Sheraton Ankara Hotel & Convention Centre. It has been reported that the conference hotel’s room capacity is largely full, and participants will be directed to alternative hotels once the current allocation is exhausted.
Since its establishment, HUBUDER has continued to bring together companies operating in various sectors of Turkey’s grain industry under one roof. The association comprises flour, feed and pasta manufacturers, as well as licensed warehousing companies, local grain operators, domestic and international firms engaged in grain trade, and companies active in the fields of inspection, logistics, maritime transport and customs consultancy. With this structure, the association is regarded as one of the organisations that comprehensively represents the grain sector in Turkey.
The conference is set to address the current state of grain markets in Turkey and globally, as well as expectations for the coming period, ahead of the 2026 harvest. The programme is also expected to cover topics such as global economic developments, the impact of regional conflicts on agricultural trade, risks in grain markets, and forecasts for the new period.
It is stated that assessments will be made based on current data at the event, which is expected to be attended by sector representatives and expert speakers from both domestic and international backgrounds. Following the rapid changes experienced in recent years in the agriculture, logistics and commodities markets, it is evident that sector representatives are closely following such meetings.
The conference, which holds significance for the sector in terms of knowledge sharing and business networking, is certain to serve as a key meeting point for participants seeking to assess market expectations, particularly ahead of the harvest season.
