At the 48th session of the International Grains Council (IGC) in Paris, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was agreed by the IGC and its 53 member governments, and IGTC. The aim of the MoU is to promote and facilitate the international trade of grains, oilseeds and other agri-bulks. It was signed in-person by Arnaud Petit, Executive Director of IGC, and Gary C. Martin, President of IGTC (pictured).   

This was the first initiative of its kind proposed by the IGC and is framed in the broader context of its work to foster international collaboration in trade.

IGTC provided a briefing note for IGC at the meeting, which can be read here.
