Palm Oil Seminar Series: Great Success in Toronto
Natu’oil Services in partnership with Malaysian Palm Oil Board, American Palm Oil Council and Global Agri-trade Corporation successfully held the Toronto Palm Oil Seminar Series at Four Points Mississauga on September 16th.
The Palm Oil Seminar Series is designed as a half day event for industry professionals to gain knowledge about palm oil, market factors, sustainability, and options for replacing partially hydrogenated oils in the North American market.
The well attended event began with an opportunity for attendees to network over breakfast followed by informative presentations and a Q&A session with our panel of palm oil experts.
Palm Oil Seminar Series Toronto was the first of the series to be given in Canada.
Presentation Topics Included:
- Palm Oil: Health & Nutritional Benefits by Dr. Pramod Khosla, Associate Professor, Wayne State University
- Oil Palm and Palm Oil: An Introduction by Johari Minal, Regional Manager, Malaysian Palm Oil Board
- Cost Effective Alternatives to Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Fats and Oils by Dr. Tiger Tangavelu, Technical Director, Global Agri-trade Corporation
