Birth of a powerhouse I would like to bring up an exciting development regarding world milling and feed industries. After months-long discussions, Parantez International Fair and Vic- tam International, the organizers of events for the grain and feed mil- ling industries, reached an agreement to combine their success and expertise for IDMA Exhibition. The two companies, which set out to prepare the biggest international event of the sector, will organize the 9th International Flour, Feed, Semolina, Rice, Corn, Bulgur Milling Ma- chinery and Pulses, Pasta, Biscuit Technologies Exhibition together in March 2021 under the name IDMA and VICTAM EMEA. I think the exhibition will be an attraction center for the world’s flour and feed milling industries because Parantez and Victam International have all the ingredients of being successful. They have passion, dedi- cation, enthusiasm and deep expertise in their field of operations. I do not doubt that IDMA and VICTAM EMEA will be a great show and open opportunities for companies in the grain and feed industry. The deal comes at a time when the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has become less optimistic about global growth, warning that the outlook remains sluggish and there are no clear signs of a turning point. The exhibition, which will be attended by international companies that supply machinery and technologies to our industry, will present enormous opportunities for the grain and feed milling industries. Those who plan to modernize their facilities or think about new investments in this field will have the opportunity to see the latest technologies and supplier companies together. By joining their forces, Parantez International Fair and Victam In- ternational would set a strong platform for the sector. It is bold news for the grain and feed processing industries. Sure, this cooperation is destined for creating a powerhouse in the industry. editor Namık Kemal PARLAK company/millermagazine millermagazine millermagazine Parantez Publishing and Congress Ltd.
