Identity Preserved field crops taking spotlight at IP Summit  

Specialty Soya and Grains Alliance to host one-stop shop event in Honolulu 

Identity Preserved (IP) field crops are ready to take center stage in front of an audience that’s eager to unravel the intricate details of the industry through discussions, networking and presentations at the Identity Preserved International Summit Feb. 18-20 at Hilton Waikiki Beach in Honolulu. 

“The Identity Preserved International Summit is where the global IP community converges to tackle pressing challenges and unlock new opportunities,” said Randy Duckworth, Specialty Soya and Grains Alliance (SSGA) executive director. “Attendees will gain firsthand insights into supply chain advancements, traceability technologies like electronic documentation, and emerging market trends – all while building trusted partnerships that drive business growth.” 

The Summit is hosted by SSGA, the business alliance of identity preserved agriculture in the United States and brings together food manufacturers; qualified grain and oilseed buyers and sellers; and transportation, equipment and seed input companies from across the world.  

“With buyers from Nepal to Japan already leveraging U.S. IP soybeans and specialty grains such as buckwheat and barley for premium products, this event is your gateway to a network prioritizing quality, transparency and sustainability,” Duckworth said.  

The Summit is set to provide multifaceted insight on IP crop supply, global trade, transportation, crop conditions, and availability through its trade show, keynote speakers, panel discussions and optional agricultural tours to Aloha Tofu Factory and Kualoa Ranch.  

“We’re excited about the agenda for our second Identity Preserved International Summit,” said Shane Frederick, SSGA manager of strategic programs. “The speakers, presenters and panelists are sure to keep all attendees engaged throughout the conference, whether they’re foreign food manufacturers and buyers, identity preserved suppliers from the United States, IP farmers and others. This conference tells the entire ‘fork to farm’ story of the U.S. Identity Preserved system.”
