Seeking to diversify supply chains and reduce heavy reliance on the Black Sea region, the Turkish Feed Manufacturers' Association (TÜRKİYEMBİR) and Argentina's CIARA-CEC convened in an online bilateral meeting to enhance raw material trade. With Argentina currently accounting for just 2.8% of Türkiye's 22.3 million tonnes of feed ingredient imports, both parties highlighted the complementary nature of their counter-seasonal harvest calendars and identified emerging opportunities in sunflower meal.

The two-day technical seminar organized by USSEC Turkey on April 2–3, 2026, in Istanbul brought together global experts and feed industry decision-makers around the shared denominators of raw material quality and next-generation technologies. This strategic gathering provided participants with a concrete roadmap for competitive advantage, spanning from the field to smart factory transformation. The formula for profitability was effectively rewritten across the core themes of sustainability, ration stability, and digitalization, highlighted in presentations by leading academics and consultants.
