The Canadian International Grains Institute is hosting the 39th International Grain Industry Program this week in Winnipeg.  The event is conducted on behalf of the Canadian Wheat Board, with 35 participants from 17 countries taking part.  Countries represented include Cuba, the United Kingdom, Mexico, Singapore, Japan, and China.  Technical services manager Graham Worden says those taking part include current Wheat Board customers, and those considering buying from the agency.  He adds it's difficult to say whether the event translates into Canadian wheat and barley sales, but stresses it cements a stronger relationship with those taking part.
