Why should you attend the workshop?

The world is changing, and the milk supply scarcity is becoming reality. Milk supply pool knowledge and drivers behind it are crucial to plan the business in the dairy supply chain.

Rising volatility, new rules of dairy farming, political instability, environmental regulations, supply chain disruptions and trade agreements. These are just some of the uncertainties for future developments in the global dairy world – and this list can easily be extended to include many more.

That’s why Eucolait and IFCN have decided to host a workshop on the future outlook for dairy markets– to show you what might happen in the future and how to navigate and prepare for the increasing uncertainty.
