The Global Grain & Pulses Forum 2026
takes place on 26–28 January 2026 at the JW Marriott Hotel Marina in Dubai.
More than 1,100 delegates from 50+ countries have already registered, spanning
grains, pulses, oilseeds and associated logistics and services
Positioned as a deal-oriented meeting point, the forum aims to connect producers, sellers and buyers alongside service providers spanning insurance, legal, finance and transport.
A SHIFTING HUB FOR TRADE AND SERVICES
Organisers describe Dubai as a trading centre benefiting from a growing concentration of trading activity serving not only the MENA region but also wider destinations, supported by a deepening ecosystem of finance, legal, insurance and transport services.
THREE-DAY FORMAT
The 2026 programme is structured around a dedicated “Zero Day” networking start, a main forum day, and an informal final day designed to extend business discussions beyond the conference hall.
The agenda opens on 26 January with the Oils & Oilseeds Trade Summit 2026, followed by the “Zero Day – Networking Grain Cocktail,” positioned as a pre-forum environment for introductions and early B2B meetings. Organisers also highlight a dedicated discussion on risk management and trade finance constraints, including challenges linked to bank compliance practices and access to financing.
The main conference day on 27 January brings participants together to discuss key issues in grain and oilseed trade, followed by a Grain Gala Dinner.
