Ryan is back from Cancun, Mexico, where he represented NAEGA and IGTC priorities at the 26th Annual NAEGA-APPAMEX Forum. Co-hosted by NAEGA, the forum featured presentations on international grain and oilseeds markets and updates on the future of agricultural trade in the context of several regional agreements such as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the North American Plant Protection Organization (NAPPO). The forum included contributions from both the current Mexican administration with the attendance of Undersecretary of Agriculture Miguel Garcia Winder. During the forum, Mr. Olson provided remarks at the opening ceremony, gave a presentation on Leading Trade Policies in the Global Economies and represented the International Grain Trade Coalition (IGTC) on multilateral regulatory issues.
