Once more, the whole industry gathered at the IFFO conference last week. Over 400 delegates travelled to Shanghai to share their market insights, listen to the latest trends and enjoy networking opportunities. The IFFO Conference 2019 has proved the importance of bringing the key stakeholders together to discuss solutions which can allow to tackle the challenges our world is facing. IFFO is committed to and plays a positive role in meeting SDGs and will to continue contributing to achieving them by 2030.
The fishmeal industry has a long history of working with others relating to issues of raw material sourcing and fishmeal and fish oil production. It is complex and requires both stakeholder management skills and long-term vision.
Ambition and consistency are key to keep everyone onboard, and I was pleased to announce in Shanghai a new communication strategy featuring 3 key messages:
- The industry is committed to transparent supply chains
- Quality feed is quality food
- The industry contributes to feeding a growing population, sustainably and responsibly.
We'll be happy that all IFFO members endorse and use them!
We look forward to meeting you in Lima for next year’s 60th Annual Conference, from 19 to 21 October!
