Making An Impact: Creating Meaningful Spaces to Learn with Women in Agribusiness

Malone, Senior Director of Trade Execution at Bunge, emphasized the importance of spaces where women can engage in meaningful conversations about global trade, supply chains, and leadership opportunities.

ORLANDO, Fla. (RFD-TV) — This year’s Women in Agribusiness Summit wrapped up in Orlando after bringing together hundreds of women from across the agriculture industry to exchange ideas, build connections, and strengthen leadership in the sector.

FarmHER + RanchHER host Kirbe Schnoor spoke with Kathy Malone, Senior Director of Trade Execution at Bunge, about why this annual gathering is such a powerful platform for women in agriculture. In her interview, Malone highlighted the importance of creating spaces where women can engage in meaningful conversations about global trade, supply chains, and leadership opportunities.

She noted that events like this not only help women expand their professional networks but also foster mentorship and collaboration across different areas of agribusiness. Reflecting on the sessions focused on trade policy and market trends, Malone emphasized how these discussions equip attendees with insights that can shape their organizations’ strategies in an ever-changing global market.

The Women in Agribusiness Summit will return next September in New Orleans, continuing its mission to empower women leaders and advance the role of women across all facets of the agriculture industry.
