“Bakery Industry – 2026” Forum will take place in Kyiv on May 12–13

On May 12–13, 2026, the annual “Bakery Industry — 2026” forum will take place in Kyiv at Premier Hotel Rus, bringing together representatives of the market of bakery products, flour, cereals, pasta and flour products, ingredients, equipment, technologies, marketing and product sales. The venue of the event is Premier Hotel Rus, 4 Hospitalna Street.

The organisers of the forum are the All-Ukrainian Association of Bakers, the Union “Millers of Ukraine” and Agro Marketing Agency. The general partner of the event is Lesaffre Ukraine.

As the organisers note, the 2025/26 season for the bakery industry has become a period of “fine-tuning,” primarily due to the raw material factor. According to their estimates, the wheat harvest in 2025 was significant in terms of volume, but in terms of quality indicators, the market counted every percentage point; in particular, the share of class 1–2 wheat with high protein amounted to about 6.5%. This created additional challenges both for flour-milling enterprises and for bread producers, who are forced to adapt recipes and technological processes to ensure the stable quality of finished products.

The first day of the forum, May 12, will begin with participant registration and the opening of the conference. The central event of the morning session will be the panel discussion “Grain, Flour, Bread: The View of the State and Business.” Among the announced participants of the discussion are Chairman of the Agrarian Committee of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Oleksandr Haidu, Deputy Minister of Economy, Environment and Agriculture of Ukraine Taras Vysotskyi, Head of the State Service of Ukraine on Food Safety and Consumer Protection Serhii Tkachuk, First Vice President of the All-Ukrainian
