The 68th General Assembly, during which the new president and board were elected, was held during the 30th FEFAC Congress in Sweden on 14-16 June. Cordero (ES), a graduate of the Complutense University of Madrid (Veterinary – Animal Production sp), served as Managing Director of NANTA (NUTRECO), Spain & Portugal. He is Vice-President of CESFAC, The Spanish Feed Industry Association. “I look forward to representing the interests of the European Compound Feed and Premix Manufacturers in these challenging times, trying to buffer the impacts of the geopolitical crisis caused by the Russian aggression in Ukraine and climate change, which affect the economic sustainability of the EU livestock and aquaculture value chain," said Pedro Cordero. "As FEFAC, we welcome and support the EU Commission's efforts to increase the resilience of our Agri-food systems to better withstand external shocks. This requires a full functioning of the Single Market and a level playing field for our livestock sector facing growing competition from imports not meeting the same high EU standards on sustainability and animal welfare."
