The 6th International Corn Industry Conference (ICIC), jointly organized by Dalian Commodity Exchange (DCE) and the China Feed Industry Association (CFIA), will be held in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, from September 25 to 26. This conference, themed with “Feed-Staff Risk Management Measures under the New Situation”, will invite nearly 600 representatives from enterprises of the corn deep processing, feed, and trade industry chain, as well as relevant government departments, industry associations, and financial and information institutions.
Relevant person in charge of DCE introduced that the current conference will set up 9 keynote speeches and two theme forums, the content of which will cover the macro economy, the industrial policies, and the corn supply and demand situation, trading, deep processing and feed. It is introduced that in order to further facilitate the feed enterprises’ better understanding of the Dalian futures market, make them actively participate in the trading of such futures varieties as corn and soybean meal, and strengthen DCE’s service level towards corn-related industries, the host place of the current ICIC has been moved to Nanchang, a major feed sale area of China. All these aim at promoting feed enterprises’ understanding and application of the corn and soybean meal futures, enhancing relevant enterprises’ capacity of using futures instruments to avoid risks, promoting the sustainable and healthy development of industrial companies, and deepening the futures market’s level of serving the real economy.
The current conference is jointly held by DCE and the CFIA. Since 2012, DCE has strengthened its cooperation with the CFIA and initiated and established the Materials Specialized Committee of the CFIA. They have jointly held the Risk Forum of Feed Enterprises and established a good cooperation mode, which have achieved great market response. Every year in the future, DCE and the CFIA will jointly organized the two major projects – the ICIC and the Summit on the Development of China’s Feed Industry. It is introduced that inviting the CFIA as a co-organizer will greatly increase the ICIC’s attraction to the feed industry.
Since its re-launching in DCE in 2014, the corn futures has, with its standard operation and active trading, become a relatively mature and perfect futures variety and received wide recognition from the corn and corn-related industries and investors. In order to further advocate the risk management idea and give full play the futures market’s function of serving the real economy, DCE has held the ICIC since 2007, aiming at setting up a high-end market service platform with shared information, communication, and business cooperation for the corn and its related industries.
