The World Durum and Pasta Forum
The first international event in Italy exclusively dedicated to the durum wheat and pasta markets.
Following the success of its past editions, the World Durum and Pasta Forum returns to Italy as the premier international event entirely focused on the durum wheat and pasta sectors.
Once again, over 350 international professionals from North America, Turkey, the European Union, North Africa, Kazakhstan, and the Black Sea region will gather in Rome for a unique event rich in content, connections, and global insights.
The Forum reaffirms its role as a key meeting point for all players in the supply chain: farmers, end users, traders, processing companies, large-scale retailers, brokers, and financial institutions.
Leading experts in the cereals sector, renowned pasta producers, millers, traders, and market analysts will discuss global trends, crop forecasts, risk management strategies, and future challenges for the industry.
The third edition of the World Durum and Pasta Forum will be an unmissable opportunity to:
explore the dynamics of the global durum wheat market;
receive exclusive updates on the latest harvests from the world’s leading producer countries;
discover innovations in pasta production and processing;
build strategic relationships with key players in the global industry.
Join us in Rome, the capital of pasta, for an event that blends tradition and innovation, vision and substance, offering unmatched international dialogue and business opportunities.
