The Game Changer Event for the Grain Industry
Our aim is to bring to the grain conference a wide range of topics, some within the industry but also to look at those outside the industry that over the next few years will be major influencers within Agri-Business.
The GrainCom Events team would like to thank all those who attended GrainCOM21, 22 and 23 as speakers, sponsors, delegates and friends for the enormous support you gave us both with encouragement and financial.
