Short Courses

Explore the worldwide trade of Oils, Seeds, and Fats with FOSFA International

FOSFA International is excited to launch our International Short Courses. These courses provide expert tuition on the latest trade practices and regulations in the oilseeds, oils, and fats industry and offer valuable networking opportunities.

Each year, we aim to host two short courses in different international venues, providing accessible and practical education to industry professionals worldwide.

Our first course was held in June at the Bolsa de Cereales, Buenos Aires, Argentina, supported by CIARA, and provided forty-five delegates with a comprehensive introduction to key aspects of FOSFA trade and arbitration.
