PRESLAV RAYKOV
Commercial Director & Head of Global Trading, Magic Flame Swiss SA

The conference truly brings together the global grain and oilseeds industry — participants from more than 55–60 countries, top professionals and decision-makers.

It creates real opportunities for networking and new business.

The conference is excellent for engagement and cooperation between government and private sectors, as well as global grain producers

The conference is interesting because it brings people and connections together.

The diversity of participants and nationalities makes it a very rich platform.

This is a truly multinational conference. Here you meet serious, specialized professionals — exporters, traders, farmers — all in one place.

I achieved more than I expected.

My first time at the forum — and I was truly impressed. Strong speakers, sharp statistics, and a complete view of the entire supply chain.

Useful, structured, and highly effective.

In a very short time, your conference became one of the biggest.

I just came from Global Grain in Geneva — to be very frank, this one is much more effective.

Solid meetings, strong market dialogue and clear next steps.

Looking forward to continuing discussions at the upcoming breakbulk events in Shanghai.

Every minute at Grain Forum Dubai was a valuable return. Great discussions and strong connections with outstanding professionals from the grain industry.

Looking forward to future collaborations.

At the forum, Dr. Raste emphasized the importance of institutional market infrastructure in emerging economies and the need for stronger interaction between exchanges and physical market participants.

This conference is a great place for making connections.

There are a lot of people here, and it’s very comfortable for business communication.

CHRISTOPHE KUYER
Director, GITC

The conference is fantastic — we get to meet long-standing partners and reconnect with friends from across the industry.

What makes it truly impressive is the diversity and expertise of the people attending.

This conference has now become, globally, the biggest grain conference.
Four years ago it was around 300 people — today we have over 1,100 participants from 55 countries.

It’s a great platform to bring together people from all parts of the world who are involved in agribusiness.

What impressed me most is the scale of the conference, the strong community and the opportunity to reconnect with partners.

We expect to unlock new business opportunities here.

It was a valuable opportunity to meet our Russian and Turkish partners and exchange insights on the current freight market dynamics in the Black Sea region, especially for grain trades. Thank you to the organizers and everyone I had the chance to meet. Looking forward to building further cooperation and new business together.

Great discussions, strong relationships, and valuable market insight-excited to keep building on this momentum and achieve even more ahead.

The forum provided valuable insights into market dynamics, trade flows, and strategic developments across major exporting regions, while also facilitating meaningful professional engagement with industry leaders.

The sessions are great, the presentations are great, the overall organization is just top-notch. Yeah, I did achieve what I want. I came here, I saw a lot of friends, a lot of old colleagues, saw some really great sessions, so I will be happy to come back next year. It's a great conference for anyone who wants to learn more about grain markets, to network, to visit beautiful Dubai.

I really enjoy the networking opportunities here. I feel like there's people from a range of countries, so you really get to see what's happening around the world. And yeah, you just get to talk and see what the market's like, what people are doing in this industry, and yeah, it's just great to be here.

The reason I'm coming here, because this is a good opportunity to present Libya and also to allow the people to know that we have a potential market in Libya.
Well, I'm really impressed by the speakers this morning. They're talking about a huge trade in edible oils and also in grain and commodities.

I had the pleasure of attending the World Grain and Pulses Forum 2026 in Dubai on January 27, 2026, a key international meeting point for the global grain and pulses market. Insightful discussions, valuable knowledge exchange, and meaningful networking with industry professionals from around the world, highlighting the importance of trade and logistics in global food security.

Last week, attended the World Grain & Pulses Forum 2026 in Dubai which was amazing. It was a great opportunity to gain valuable insights into the global grain and commodity markets and connect with industry professionals from around the world. Thank you to the organizers and our partners I had the pleasure of meeting.

I had the pleasure of attending the GRAIN conference in Dubai #globalgraindubai — it was a very successful event. I was able to meet new prospects and have meaningful exchanges with clients, which made the conference especially valuable. Many thanks for the excellent organization — it was truly appreciated.

I enjoy communicating with all suppliers, and I appreciate this atmosphere.

I like that this group has a place where everyone can participate in discussions and negotiations.

I really like the audience in the conference. It's really good. I really like the applications. We can find everyone we want to get in touch with. I like the organizing committee. They are always friendly and we can also ask anything we want to them.

Mainly it was a great opportunity to be here with all these people.

I'm recommending this forum daily because I'm one of the organizers and general sponsor. Agrosan Commodity is the general sponsor of the forum for more and four years and of course we are recommending everyone who is doing global commodity trade, agri-trade, to visit this forum for sure. It is very important and very fruitful.

It was an energizing events where we established valuable connections, strengthened existing business relationships, and shared insights.

I really appreciated the wide range of speakers and participants at this forum, the diversity of profiles and nationalities that you can meet there. It's the number of people who attend this event, it brings together a huge number of people from the industry, the grain sector and trade, so it's a really great event.

Of course I will come again and really I wanted to thank all the staff who organized this and see you inshallah in next season.

Of course, I am happy to recommend and advise you to attend this conference and look for opportunities to expand your business.

It's an amazing conference, you know, that all over the world, more than a thousand people are here, and the complete agri-sector is covered properly.

So if you want to deal in agri-pulses, you have to be here.

Really, I like the conference because the conference is focused with the main suppliers, the big players, the big players in that sector, especially when the conference is like everything is available, You can target suppliers, you can target customers, you can target whoever you would like to work with.

It was lovely to see old friends and colleagues from the industry again. These gatherings are always more than just events; they are valuable opportunities to exchange insights, strengthen trusted relationships, and explore new possibilities in the global grain and pulses market. The energy, openness, and quality of discussions clearly signal an exciting and productive week ahead.

The conference was very well organized and left an excellent overall impression.

I was very happy to have such a conference held in Egypt. I would definitely recommend colleagues and friends to take part in similar events.

This event provided a valuable platform for bringing together professionals from trade, shipping, and industry. Such meetings are essential, allowing all key players to meet, exchange insights, and build connections. It is a valuable contribution to the development of the grain sector in the region.

The conference allowed us to introduce our services to the international grain trade community and receive very positive feedback from traders. During the event, we saw opportunities for future cooperation and potential deals. Conferences like this are extremely important and should continue to be held in Egypt.

The conference was a great opportunity for networking and finding partners who can support business growth. We connected with grain traders, logistics providers, insurance brokers, and financial partners from different fields.

The knowledge gained here definitely makes us want to come again and stay ahead of the game.

The event was very informative and a great place to meet interesting professionals from the industry. I would definitely recommend this conference to colleagues.

I hope to see it growing and becoming a center for exchanging ideas and meeting new people.

I was honored to participate as a speaker and discuss the strategic importance of the New El Max Port and its impact on the maritime and logistics sectors. The event created an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas, connect with industry leaders, and explore how infrastructure development can shape the future of trade.

It was a pleasure to take part in a panel discussion alongside industry professionals. The session focused on the recovery of the Egyptian feed sector and the year-on-year progress of the poultry sector. Events like this provide a valuable platform for sharing insights and discussing key market developments.

It was a pleasure to be part of the event.

Many thanks to the organizing team for their strong effort and professional execution.

Participating in two international events within a short period was a valuable experience, both for professional discussions and networking. Speaking on dry bulk shipping and freight market analysis provided an opportunity to share insights and engage with industry colleagues. These events are truly worth attending.

I was glad to be part of Grain Trade Africa.

It was a well-organized event that enabled meaningful connections across the continent.

The event was a great opportunity to reconnect with colleagues, meet investors, and engage with industry professionals.

I appreciate the invitation to speak on oilseeds trade dynamics in Egypt and Africa and value the open and constructive discussions.
