Aloha! Register today for Identity Preserved International Summit

On the heels of its U.S. Identity Preserved brand launch in Vietnam, SSGA will hold its next global gathering January 11-13, 2023, in Honolulu, Hawaii. Grains and oilseeds buyers, food manufacturers, exporters, growers and processors can expect to learn more about the highest quality U.S. grains and oilseeds, along with networking, business opportunities and more at the inaugural Identity Preserved International Summit.

Confirmed speakers include Christian Foster of the Crop Protection Action Coalition for Trade (CPACT). CPACT, launched by the U.S. Dry Bean Council in 2021, confronts and prevents disruption of ag trade between the U.S. and export markets due to low or zero tolerance maximum residue limits. Foster will address some of these barriers to trade in his session.

A workshop on Day 1 of the Summit will encourage public comments and consider amendments to U.S. Identity Preserved, the quality assurance plan, standard and brandmark administered by SSGA. Workshop speakers include James Fung of Indiana Crop Improvement; Peter Golbitz of Agromeris, Raquel Hansen, grower and identity preserved consultant; Gary Williams of Grainhound Consulting and Shane Frederick, SSGA Manager of Strategic Programs.

Other confirmed speakers include grains and oilseeds growers Mark Senk from Michigan and Justin Rone from Missouri. They will be joined by other U.S. growers in “A view from the combine,” a panel session for growers to share more about their farm and the practices they undertake to ensure a quality product.

More speakers will be confirmed and updated regularly at this link, which also includes registration and more information about the event. We hope you’ll join us for this one-of-a-kind conference at the crossroads of the Pacific!
