Global leaders in identity preserved (IP) agriculture will convene once again for the Identity Preserved International Summit, Feb. 18-20, 2025, in Honolulu, Hawaii. Registration and sponsorship information is now available at usipsummit.com.
Building on the success of the inaugural Summit in 2023, this event will unite oilseed and grains buyers and food manufacturers, growers, processors and exporters for three days of discussion, networking and collaboration. The 2023 event, hosted by the Specialty Soya and Grains Alliance (SSGA), included more than 50 foreign buyers as well as growers, processors and exporters of U.S. Identity Preserved field crops.
“It’s definitely worth attending,” said Gaurav Agrawal, a 2023 event attendee from Nepal. “The event is an eye-opener for various identity preserved products from the U.S. and an excellent platform for U.S. IP products, buyers and sellers.”
Agrawal credits the education and connections he made at the 2023 Summit as a major reason for his decision to introduce U.S. identity preserved soy in his food manufacturing business in Nepal. Earlier in 2024, the first commercial sale of identity preserved soybeans from the U.S. to South Asia arrived via container at the dry port of Birgunj, Nepal. Agrawal processed the soybeans into soy food products and delivered samples to several other retailers within days of its arrival.
