Representatives of the Port of Bilbao at the Duero International Grain Exchange in Valladolid to promote port services for trade in bulk agri-livestock, agro-energy and foodstuffs

The event will be held on 12 September with port representatives acting as logistics advisors

As in previous editions, representatives of UniportBilbao and the Port Authority of Bilbao will this year once again have an information stand at the Duero International Grain Exchange, to be held in Valladolid on 12 September. This year marks the seventh edition of this annual event.

Organised by ACCOE (Spanish Grain and Oilseed Trade Association) and Unistock of Spain (Spanish Association of Port Warehousekeepers of Grains, Cereals and their derivatives), the event promotes commercial and business relations between brokers, operators, companies and professionals working in the international trade of cereals, oilseeds, grains and their derivatives. The companies operating in the port of Bilbao play a key role as enablers of this foreign trade.

In Valladolid, the delegation from Bilbao will provide information on port services for trade in bulk agricultural, livestock, agro-energy and foodstuffs, all of which are essential for Spanish trade. More than 20% of imported cereals are consumed within a radius of 400 km from the port of Bilbao.

Around 3.4 million tonnes of agricultural, livestock and food products were handled in the maritime terminals of the port of Bilbao in 2023. In this respect, traffic in soya beans (one million tonnes) from the Bunge plant at the Punta Sollana quay, oils and fats (620,000 tonnes) and cereals and their flours (316,000 tonnes) are of particular relevance.
