The Market Intelligence Forum is returning to the 2015 International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE). Sponsored by U.S. Poultry & Egg Association (USPOULTRY) and the National Poultry & Food Distributors Association (NFPDA), the program will address the need to “YouTube-proof” operations by adopting a food-centered, rather than production-centered, paradigm.

“The Market Intelligence Forum is a popular program on the Expo schedule, and we are pleased to include it again in the 2015 education line-up. It is important to stay informed on current conditions and projections for the future affecting the poultry and egg industry. This program helps keep industry leaders up-to-date on the many factors that influence financial performance,” said USPOULTRY Chairman Elton Maddox, Wayne Farms, Oakwood, Georgia.
The program will feature an agriculture communication and media specialist, a leading economist and an industry performance analyst.
