IEC Madrid 2013 comes to a close

Globalisation, sustainability, and the growing importance of Asia; these were the lasting messages from IEC Madrid.

The final day of the IEC’s Madrid conference focussed on egg processing and economics. As the population is predicted to reach 9 billion people by 2050, more food must be produced, and as demand is increasing, so too are food prices.

Now is a time of big opportunities for the egg industry

Delegates attending the IEC conference in Madrid heard from six exceptional speakers.

Monday morning’s conference session was dedicated to marketing, and delegates gained invaluable advice and insights from Dr Vincent Covello, Dr Mitch Kanter and Professor David Hughes, who told the IEC: “A combination of factors conspires to provide big opportunities for eggs”.

IEC Madrid is off to excellent start
