TABADER, the common platform of the companies operating in cereal and pulses processing technologies, storage and analysis systems, and IDMA, the world’s only international fair for milling machinery, are united to close the gap for qualified workforce in the sector. TABADER will provide a certified miller training during IDMA to be held in Istanbul between 20 and 23 March 2019.  

The Association of Cereal and Pulses Processing Technologies, Storage and Analysis Systems (TABADER) received attention because of its training activities and projects for the sector. TABADER put a lot of efforts to close the gap for qualified workforce, which is one of the leading problems in the sector. In this vein, TABADER will have an important event during IDMA, the world’s only international fair for milling machinery, cereals and pulses processing technologies. The association will provide a certified miller training during IDMA to be held between 20 and 23 March 2019 in the Istanbul Fair Center (Yeşilköy), which is one of the biggest and oldest fair areas in Turkey. Professor Mustafa Bayram, the Chairman of the Executive Board of TABADER who has more than twenty-year old experience, will share his expertise with participants during two-day long training. Apart from Professor Bayram, many academicians and industry representatives will provide training in food and feed milling. After two-day long event, participants will receive certification. IDMA hosted similar training in 2015 and 2017. TABADER carried out the certification program during the IDMA 2017, and this program with two-hundred participants received a great appreciation from the sector representatives.
