"Where the global agri-food market converges."

About the conference

AgroFoodSummit 2026

In the heart of the Mediterranean, at the crossroads of global trade routes, the AgroFoodSummit 2026 will take place on September 24–25, 2026—a pivotal event designed for those seeking profit in a complex world.

Today, agricultural markets are no longer about stability. They are characterized by volatility, geopolitics, and a struggle for margins.

Oil prices dictate the cost of logistics and processing. Oilseed markets react to every movement in the energy sector. Conflicts in the Middle East create new risks—and new opportunities for those who act swiftly.

While most events provide information, the AgroFoodSummit 2026 offers clarity in a complicated market.

Two days. Five sessions: This year’s program covers grains, the oil complex, pulses and soybeans, and for the first time— the milling industry, where Turkey remains the number one global player.

Location: Hilton Mersin—one of the best hotels in the region, setting the standard for international events and creating ideal conditions for negotiations and networking.

Mersin is not a random choice. It is one of the most powerful logistics centers in the region, where routes converge between the Black Sea basin, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. The port, free trade zone, and processing industry all make the city a hub for agricultural trade.

The Agro Food Summit 2026 brings together producers, traders, processors, logisticians, investors, and analysts from Ukraine, Turkey, and dozens of countries worldwide.

Main Topics

Grains, Pulses, Soybeans, Oilseeds&Oil, Milling Industry

Key Topics for AFS2026.

01 / Topic

Geopolitics and macroeconomics dictate the rules of the game in agricultural markets. Will the market remain driven by the economy, or will it ultimately fall under the influence of wars, oil, and global risks?

02 / Topic

The world is entering a season of high grain stocks. Will the 2026/27 season turn into a year of price pressure and margin decline?

03 / Topic

The Black Sea region combines significant volumes of grain and oilseed exports, price competitiveness, and high logistical risks—key factors in the global market. Does this mean that a new logic of global competition is forming here?

04 / Topic

Oilseed crops are increasingly tied to energy markets. How deep will the impact of oil prices be on oil costs and the processing economy?

05 / Topic

Sunflower oil and meal are losing their "guaranteed" sales markets. Who will win the battle for India, China, and the Middle East in this new competitive reality?

06 / Topic

Soybeans and pulses are shaping a new structure of global protein demand. Where is the profit concentrated— with raw material producers or with processors and traders?

07 / Topic

Production resources are becoming a key constraint on industry development. What will be the critical factor this season—access to financing, fertilizers, energy, or quality raw materials?

08 / Topic

The global milling industry is facing a new wave of competition for sales markets. Will Turkey maintain its number one status—and where are the opportunities for new players emerging?
