This year's edition of the International Dairy Cooperatives Forum will be held on September 8 and 9 in Białystok, Poland.

The conference of representatives of the dairy industry is taking place in north-eastern Poland, the center of the Polish dairy industry.

The International Dairy Cooperatives Forum is the largest event for the industry in Central and Eastern Europe.

"The forum is one of the most important events for the dairy sector globally,"​ said Paolo De Castro, Member of the European Parliament.

The organizers said they have invited many experts from all over the world to the 18th edition of the conference. It will include representatives of institutions including the European Commission, the European Dairy Association, the European Dairy Products Trade Association Eucolait, the European organization of agricultural trade unions and cooperative organizations COPA-COGECA and TEAM EUROPE.

As part of the presentations, discussion panels and behind-the-scenes talks, experts will discuss issues related to the dairy industry such as the Green Deal, the new Common Agricultural Policy and the European "Farm to Fork" strategy.

"We will talk primarily about the future of the dairy sector in the context of important documents such as CAP, European Green Deal Strategy, which are discussed today not only in Europe, but the whole world,"​ Agnieszka Maliszewska, organizer of the forum, said.

The forum will also scrutinize how the post-covid dairy world is being shaped.
