🚨 #EUDR implementation calls for urgent action🚨

How long do we still need to wait for the @EU_Commission to release the latest #FAQs and the Guidance document for operators and traders to get urgent clarification ?

🆕 COCERAL & @Unistock_EU join call for more 🇪🇺 budget on transport!

44 orgs have joined together in the CEF, Coalition for Transport, to convey the importance of more funding.

Resilient transport is essential for our work in grain storage, trade and overall EU food security.

[Iliana Axiotiades @ilianaaxio]

Best wishes from the grain trade @COCERAL_EU !

[COCERAL @COCERAL_EU]

🎄🎶 Oh the weather outside is frightful...
But the grains, are so, delightful...

Merry Christmas from COCERAL, and here's to a wonderful new year! 🎆🎇

[COCERAL @COCERAL_EU]

Highly looking forward to the discussion shortly with @LinsNorbert, moderator @mwt37 and panel on grain trade & #FoodSecurity.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine, supply chain issues, weather... the agricultural trading sector must respond to all of these challenges.

#WorldFoodDay was Monday, with a main theme of #WaterAction.

Did you know that agriculture accounts for 72% of global freshwater withdrawals? (figure: @FAO)

Becoming more #sustainable is a key goal of the sector, including of our members.

At the @EUFoodForum event in @Europarl_EN Strasbourg on sustainable food systems with Commissioner @jwojc.

MEPs @AdemovAsim @ITolleret @msojdrova @FiocchiPietro @Franc_Bogovic and Marlene Mortler focused on need to ensure renewal of generations to maintain EU food system.

Did you know that the shipping industry handles over 80% of the world's trade volume while producing 3% of GHG emissions?

Emissions have risen in the last decade, but important strides are being made towards alternative fuels.

From the latest @UNCTAD report.

Aujourd’hui, adoption en commission #AGRI du Parlement 🇪🇺 d’un texte sur sur le #renouvellement des générations en #agriculture, dont le groupe @RenewEurope m’avait confié la responsabilité.

L’occasion de réaffirmer au niveau 🇪🇺 l’importance de miser et mettre la priorité sur les hommes et les femmes qui font et feront l’agriculture 🇪🇺🇫🇷 de demain @JeunesAgri @_CEJA_ #rga

[COCERAL @COCERAL_EU]

Did you know that sustainable soil management can help offset 5-20% of current GHG emissions? (@FAO)

Protecting our soils is good for healthier and more productive crops, #FoodSecurity, and even #ClimateChange.

A lot of efforts are being made to find alternatives to the sea, but one must not lose sight of the fact that road, rail and inland waterways will never be as efficient - both in speed and cost - as the sea #GrainDeal #Ukraine

[COCERAL @COCERAL_EU]

There's been lots of discussion about the cancellation of the Black Sea #GrainDeal 🇺🇦

32 mmt needs to be replaced from the Odessa ports. Danube ports handled 18.5 mmt last season ⬇️

Rail/road contribute, but as our last #BacktoTradeBasics showed, there's no comparison to ships.

[Fadela Benabadji @FBenabadji]

30% des capacités export #cereales sont à l’arrêt et 54% sont en risque sur la #MerNoire or elle représente 30% des exportations mondiales de #blé! Conf de #presse @agritel_argus @AgenceRDN @sebponcelet @PortierArthur @NordCereales @LemoineArnaud @costilhes

[COCERAL @COCERAL_EU]

This fact shows the difficulties for 🇺🇦 grain exports in adapting to the loss of sea ports like Odessa 🔽

It's hard to beat the sea.

Traders are working hard to adapt export routes, with a mix of rail, truck, and secondary ports such as on the Danube.

#BacktoTradeBasics

[COCERAL @COCERAL_EU]

Let's get #BacktoTradeBasics!

We've all heard recent news out of Ukraine🇺🇦. And we will get into details like what the bombing of Danube ports #Reni and #Izmail means to trade flows.

But to start - handling risk is inherent in traders' jobs. What does that look like?

@COCERAL_EU @Transport_EU Thank you to @COCERAL_EU , let’s work together to make food and cargo move smoothly in the 🇪🇺 and beyond

[POLITICOEurope @POLITICOEurope]

The EU is putting pressure on the Amazon region — and particularly Brazil — to combat deforestation.

A two-day summit starting today will be a political test for Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva to push nations in the region toward action.
