On October 7–8, 2025, the key grain conference of the year, Grain Trade Africa 2025, was held in Cairo, Egypt, organized by Globenty. This unique platform brought together representatives of business, trading, logistics, and agricultural policy from more than 30 countries across Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

Focus on Africa
Amid rapidly growing populations, intensifying climate challenges, and increasing food demand, Africa is becoming a key destination for Russian grain, oilseeds, and legumes. The forum served as a venue for discussions on new logistics routes, supply financing issues, and the role of Russia and BRICS countries in ensuring food security in the region.

Grain Trade Africa is more than just an export conference. It's a full-fledged international logistics forum focusing on container logistics, transport corridors, the development of transit routes through the Suez Canal, East and West Africa, and the North-South Transport Corridor.
