🆕 COCERAL joins 22 orgs to call on the @EU_Commission and MSs to provide urgent clarifications for the EU #Deforestation Regulation (#EUDR). Successful implementation is threatened by large gaps in information, lack of technical solutions, and more. ▶️ tinyurl.com/58hdm4je

Food is being weaponised via these horrific attacks by Russia on civilians and port infrastructure. Russian attacks and statements are immediately affecting #FoodSecurity and prices. If this continues, it will reverberate throughout the EU and into wider global markets ⬇️

COCERAL's @ilianaaxio concludes the webinar: "The grain trade sector is about taking fast decisions, using all the information available, including geopolitics, economics, taking into account all the players and stakeholders – it's a complex and ever-evolving scenario."

Great visit of Port of Leixões & Silos de Leixões, near Porto. As part of the workshop organised by @Unistock_EU, we had interesting exchanges on safety, fire prevention & the use of dust as part of #circulareconomy Got even the opportunity to try out a vessel bridge simulator 🛳️
Presentation of Silos de Leixões, showing their vertical and horizontal silos that currently store milled wheat, DDGS and beet pulp pellets. Thank you Nuno Fernandes and Miguel Tomé for welcoming us!
