TUSAF Congress to be held with IDMA as main sponsor

21 January 20263 min reading

At the TUSAF 20th International Congress and Exhibition to be held in Antalya, the sector’s roadmap will be shaped by the vision of its main sponsor, IDMA.

One of the most long-established gatherings of Türkiye’s flour and grain industry, the TUSAF 20th International Congress and Exhibition will once again take place in Antalya on 12–15 February 2026, with IDMA (Istanbul Milling Machinery Exhibition) serving as the main sponsor. Organized under the theme “Climate Resilience and the Future of Trade,” the congress will play a key role in defining the sector’s strategic roadmap for 2026 and beyond, while also bringing IDMA’s global vision to this platform.

Supporting the congress as its main sponsor, IDMA is not merely a trade fair organization; it is an international industry platform that shapes the future of grain, flour, feed and bakery technologies. In this role, IDMA will also influence the content and impact of the TUSAF Congress. IDMA’s accumulated expertise in knowledge sharing, technology and sustainability creates a strong synergy with the congress’s main discussion themes.

IDMA: A SPHERE OF INFLUENCE EXTENDING FROM TECHNOLOGY TO POLICY

Industry representatives note that in recent years the grain and food processing industry has been undergoing a profound transformation not only in production, but also in areas such as climate, trade, logistics and food security, emphasizing that IDMA has become one of the most visible stages of this transformation. Held in Istanbul and bringing together professionals from more than 100 countries, IDMA Istanbul has evolved into a reference point that shapes global policy and trade dynamics as much as technological direction within the sector.

By assuming the main sponsorship of TUSAF 2026, IDMA will carry this accumulated experience to the congress platform, contributing to the development of collective thinking across key areas such as climate resilience, sustainable production, supply chain management and global competitiveness.

CONGRESS, EXHIBITION AND VISION UNDER ONE ROOF

This strategic collaboration between the TUSAF Congress and IDMA is seen as a reflection of the goal to jointly design not only the present, but also the future of the sector. On one side stand perspectives on policy, economics and trade; on the other, automation, digitalization, energy efficiency and next-generation production technologies. At the intersection of these two areas lies the global network that IDMA has built over many years.

Bakery, milling and grain processing technologies highlighted at IDMA Istanbul 2026 will merge with the climate and trade themes addressed at the TUSAF Congress, offering the sector a comprehensive and integrated vision for the future.

A STRONG MESSAGE TO THE SECTOR: THE FUTURE WILL BE BUILT TOGETHER

Volatility in global grain trade, climate-related supply risks and rising cost pressures are making the need for collective thinking and joint solutions more visible than ever. TUSAF 2026, to be held with IDMA as main sponsor, aims to provide a strong response to this need.

Bringing together a broad range of stakeholders—from flour producers to machinery manufacturers, from exporters to technology providers—under one roof, the congress seeks to transform the challenges facing the sector into opportunities through IDMA’s global perspective.

COMMUNICATION SUPPORT FROM BBM AND DEĞIRMENCI

The TUSAF 20th International Congress and Exhibition, to be held at the Kaya Palazzo Belek Hotel in Antalya, will strengthen its ambition to be not merely a sectoral meeting, but a strategic platform shaping the future of the grain and flour industry, with the contributions of its main sponsor, IDMA.

This time, the sector’s roadmap will be drawn through the combination of IDMA’s vision and TUSAF’s institutional expertise.
With BBM Magazine and Değirmenci Magazine serving as media partners, the congress will bring together all stakeholders of the sector on a single platform.
