Event Description
Amid a continuing pandemic and fraught geopolitical situation, ingredient prices have climbed to levels from above historical averages in recent weeks and months. In the case of several markets (notably cash wheat, edible oils and oats), prices have climbed to multi-year highs, fueling cost inflation and placing serious pressure on consumer-packaged foods companies. Meanwhile, meteorologists have been sounding the alarm about an elevated risk for dry weather in major producing areas in 2022.
To help make sense of ingredient markets, purchasing executives have counted on the Sosland Publishing Co. Purchasing Seminar for more than 40 years. Join us in Kansas City June 5-7 for this year’s seminar at the Sheraton Kansas City Hotel at Crown Center. The event, which also will celebrate Sosland’s 100th anniversary, will feature expert presentations on grains, shortening and sweeteners as well as on numerous other ingredients and weather, along with energy, logistics and the economy.
The Sosland Purchasing Seminar will be indispensable in traversing the continued market unknowns of 2022. For more information, visit the event website. To contact the event coordinator, click here.

Top 10 stories of 2024
KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, US — It was a bumpy ride for the global grain industry in 2024.
An already unstable geopolitical situation worsened with military conflicts expanding in Ukraine and the Middle East. Transporting grain efficiently was a challenge, in part because of those wars. And several of the world’s largest agribusiness companies saw profits tumble in a suboptimal economic climate for global agriculture.
The establishment in both Europe and the United States saw a conservative backlash against their liberal policies, leading to political unrest in countries such as France and the return of Donald Trump to the US presidency after a four-year absence. The result will likely be a continued trend toward protectionist policies that will impact the global grain trade in the coming years as well a reduced emphasis on “green” environmental policies that had become prevalent during the past four years.
