In the 10 years since its foundation,
the International Food and
Agribusiness Management Association
(IAMA) has grown from a primarily
academie organization to the all round
professional organization we know
today. We offer a brief overview.

What'sNewS Issue 7-July 1999 II
Rabobankers have been associated
with IAMA from its earliest
^Bhcginnings; I lerman Wijffels was its
chairman in 1997 and we have provided
speakers at many of its world congresses
and other forums. The association
brings together F&A-related academia,
the business world, government bodies
and offers a wealth of information - if
you know how to access it. Besides the
congresses (the next one is slated for
Chicago, 25-28 June 2000 and will
focus on Consunters, Technology,
Environment: creating opportunities,
managing risk), IAMA publishes an
extensive range of magazines and
journals which reflect the broad base of
its membership. Although to some
extent, the association can appear
weighted towards academia and
governmental bodies, increasingly people
from the corporate side of F&A and
^^elated sectors are showing interest in
participating in the only truly
international forum for the industry.
It is, therefore, perhaps unsurprising
that Rabobank has become increasingly
involved in global events, not only
through basic sponsorshp, but also in
providing input and content for congress
sessions. At the most recent world
congress, held in Florence in June, RI
sponsored three sessions with a specific
global and financial focus. We were
certainly in good company as other
sponsors included top names in the
business, such as Novartis, Monsanto,
ConAgra, Farmland and Holland's own
Ahold. If you'd like to hnd out more
about the association or see if there are
potential advantages in membership,
^^:heck out the extensive IAMA website
^^vhich is updated regularly and gives
insight into both activities and sector-
related news. You can access IAMA on
www.ifama.org.
