Mission & Goals
Coceral objectives are to represent and promote the interests of the grain, feedstuffs, rice, olive oil and agro-supply trade associations operating within Europe; to proactively monitor and guide EU policy makers in market, food safety and environmental matters; to promote strategies for provision of safe food ingredients and feed raw materials for the benfit of EU processors and consumers; to publish reports and position papers for stakeholders.
EU Legislative Interests
COCERAL promotes a modern, holistic vision of agriculture in which food production is closely linked to the global macroeconomic environment. This interdependence among variables demands that modern agriculture addresses a number of challenges: To increase productivity to satisfy an ever-growing population; To preserve the environment and climate; To hold competiveness while acting in a global and liberalised marketplace. The members of COCERAL are committed to respond to these challenges. To do so they must consider all elements influencing supply and demand, going far beyond the classic market indicators and market management measures. Other elements that influence supply and demand must be taken into consideration, such as: Food and feed safety issues; Trade agreements; Common Agricultural Policy; Environmental and sustainability policies; Biofuel policy. The coherence and synergies between all these elements are crucial to make agricultural markets work properly: these are “our issues”.
