As FEFAC prepares to mark its 70th anniversary in Luxembourg on April 27–28, 2027, top EU policymakers, farm ministers, and feed industry leaders will gather to outline concrete steps for European livestock resilience, protein self-sufficiency, and global trade dynamics.
The European Feed Manufacturers’ Federation (FEFAC) has opened registration for its 70th Anniversary Public Annual Meeting, scheduled for April 27–28, 2027, in Luxembourg. Held back-to-back with the AGRIFISH Council, the landmark event centers on the theme “European Livestock Strategy and EU Protein Action Plan: From Vision to Implementation.”
Opening with a keynote by EU Commissioner for Agriculture and Food Christophe Hansen, the meeting features a ministerial roundtable and a value-chain fireside chat with COGECA President Lennart Nilsson. Key discussions will tackle policy frameworks, financial incentives, and enabling environments necessary to modernize livestock and feed production systems across Europe.
Subsequent panels will evaluate geopolitical shifts and trade agreements—including Mercosur, Ukraine DCFTA, and EU-US relations—led by International Grains Council (IGC) Executive Director Arnaud Petit and Brazilian Feed Industry Association (SINDIRAÇÕES) President Roberto Betancourt. The final session will explore the EU’s 35% by 2035 high-protein feed benchmark, featuring insights from FEDIOL President Christophe Beaunoir on rapeseed meal, alongside expert discussions on alternative proteins, amino acids, and New Genomic Techniques (NGTs).
