The fact that GRAIN UKRAINE is supported by the Ministry of Infrastructure and the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine symbolizes that the success is possible only if the agrarian and transport sectors work together. The land market reform will put new issues actual to the transport industry. And we have to elaborate answers together, including during the GRAIN UKRAINE sections; discussions".

"I have been to "hundreds" of Grain Conferences in my 34 years in Commodities and I found the 2016 Conference in Odessa to be extremely informative and very useful to my business. Furthermore, given the diversity, knowledge level and sheer numbers of the attendees I also found networking opportunities to be very rewarding. Given the growing global importance of Ukrainian grain production and exports and the strategic geographical location of this conference I suspect that players from around the world will attend upcoming events. With Conference Grain Ukraine there is now a way to tap into the "Real-on-the-ground situation" throughout the entire grain production to export process in the Ukraine. Therefore, I think this conference will grow in the years ahead and that in turn will increase the breadth of information and networking opportunities at the event".
