The 7th TRT World Rice Conference 2015 moves

from Cambodia’s emerging exports to a market

that is a key destination or import market for

as much as one million tons of rice. A market

that has benefitted from the narrowing of price

between Thai, India, Pak and Viet rice markets. Malaysia

has diversified its rice imports to include imports from all

major rice export origins, as well as a rising Cambodian

and Myanmar presence in Malaysia. The TRT World Rice

Conference 2015 offers delegates ring-side seats to the

largest commercial gathering of rice trade professionals

in the world, and a venue at the heart of Kuala Lumpur

and its own charms that boast 2015 as the year of

festivals. The team at TRT welcomes your attendance!

2015 has revealed yet another unique year, and as the

saying goes, there are no two similar years in the rice

markets. We saw El Nino fears set into the horizon as a

risk that left us with a drought in California. With constant

talk of dry weather and floods as we saw drought or

water scarcity affect Thailand, Philippines and Indonesia

amongst others, while we also saw floods devastate

Myanmar as weather concerns drove supply. In demand,

we witnessed the fall of the Euro, currency controls in

Nigeria and Gambia, as well as import allocations or

limits hit Senegal in a risk filled market that ensured

that the skills of the trader was tested to the full. Policy

remains a factor as we saw Thailand decide on when and

how to release and auction rice stocks, we saw China

seemingly control imports by linking import quotas to

activities involving the purchase of state stocks were just

two of the more significant developments that shaped

the mood in trade.

We meet once again, just ahead of the peak of Thai, India,

Pakistan, Myanmar and Cambodian harvests, timing is

excellent for not just intelligence, but for trading, and

business opportunities to be developed. One statement

need not change and that is that the corridors of TRT

World Rice Conference will have many stories to tell of

deals and will continue to be an important feature of an

event strong in its networking foundations.

TRT World Rice Conference 2015 is in its seventh year, and

delivers an expert team of speakers who will share their

views, address the developments in key markets, and

shed light on important issues faced in the industry. The

networking possibilities remain at its core and a sure way

to mix business and pleasure with the aim of building

stronger business ties and knowledge within and around

the businesses that shape the global rice trade.
