Global Pulse Confederation - GPC

Congratulations to Ardent Mills , winner of the GPC Pulses Sustainability Leadership Award 2026.

This recognition reflects the power of collaboration across the pulse value chain and a long-term commitment to innovation, resilience, and sustainable growth in food and agriculture.

Thank you for your continued support of the global pulse industry.

Last week, GPC was represented by Dr. Andac Kolukisa and Sudhakar Tomar at the 2026 International Grains Council Conference, held during .

The event brought together policymakers and industry stakeholders from across the global value chain to discuss the challenges, risks, and opportunities shaping trade in grains, oilseeds, pulses, and related sectors.

It was encouraging to see pulses featured as part of the conversation on building more resilient, sustainable, and nutrition-focused food systems.

A big thank you to Dr. Andac Kolukisa and Sudhakar Tomar for representing GPC and contributing to these important conversations.
