The U.S. Soybean Export Council, (USSEC) under the auspices of the Egyptian Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation and the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service, organized the Fourth Regional Aquaculture Production Conference – MENA Region (July 6-9, 2018). The conference bought together aqua-feed and emerging fish farming technology experts along with Middle East North Africa (MENA) region policymakers, fish feed manufacturers, and aquaculture producers.
