The Wheat Products Promotion Society (WPPS) hosted a Global CEO Conclave 2024, which proposed a comprehensive roadmap for the wheat industry’s future development.

The two-day conclave, which concluded on June 26 in New Delhi, advocated for the sector’s future through innovation, sustainability, and collaboration.” By embracing these suggestions, industry stakeholders can work together to ensure a bright future for the global wheat sector, one that benefits producers, consumers, and the environment alike,” according to a statement from WPPS.

Guiding framework

As the wheat industry moves forward, the conclave’s insights and recommendations will serve as a guiding framework for achieving long-term growth and sustainability, in line with the 2030 vision, it stated.

The conclave, “Vision 2030: Trade Dynamics, Trends, and Technologies,” provided a platform for the global wheat market, which is expected to reach $258.7 billion by 2027 while facing challenges such as climate change and demand shifts.
