This year’s edition of the International Dairy Cooperatives Forum will be held on 7-8 September in Białystok, Poland. This is the first opportunity for representatives of dairy sector to directly exchange views on the EU perspective of dairy, with the European Commissioner for Agriculture, Janusz Wojciechowski. The speech of the commissioner will concern issues related to the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), including the approach of the member states to opportunities in strategic plans.
Other participants in the discussions will include ministers of agriculture from seven European Union countries. Their meetings will be dedicated to the dairy sector in the context of the challenges posed by the assumptions of the new CAP.
Main topics of the 19th International Dairy Cooperatives Forum will be the food security of Europe and the world, as well as the condition of the Polish, European and global dairy industry under the new EU perspective, especially the European Green Deal (achieving climate neutrality of EU countries by 2050) and support for farmers.
International Dairy Cooperatives Forum is the largest dairy industry event in Central and Eastern Europe, gathering representatives of cooperatives, CEOs, directors and experts, the organisers say.
