Transit of grain through Poland to ports, however, will still be permitted, according to Poland’s new Agricultural Minister, Robert Telus.  “Thousands” of protestors in Romania have blocked traffic and border checkpoints with tractors and trucks in attempt to compel the EU to intervene in disputes about Ukrainian grain entering the country. The protests are similar to ones in Poland where farmers are angered over the flood of inexpensive grain from Ukraine that is depressing local prices.  Egypt’s GASC purchased 600 KMT of wheat in its latest tender last week, which was all s...

Illuminating the value of technical research

On behalf of a commodity producer organization, WPI evaluated the outputs from a project that featured a $5 million investment into technical research over multiple years. WPI’s team captured the results of this extensive effort and synthesized them for presentation to the organization’s governing board; among the findings uncovered and presented for the first time was the development of genomic traits proven, via rigorous testing, to provide crop yield advantages of 50 percent or more to U.S. farmers in times of drought. Capturing measurable results from long-term efforts can be challenging. Educating clients on the dynamics of success measurement when quantifiable results are not readily available requires deep client-consultant collaboration and an ability to consider both near- and long-term client aspirations with market/policy dynamics – attributes that WPI brings to every consulting engagement.
