Don DO, EL, MI, US NAMA bcc: Riccardo Mazzucchelli ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Board, Sorghum <Sorghum.board@nebraska.gov> Date: Mon, Nov 21, 2022 at 1:19 PM Subject: Urgent: Samples for the IYM Opening Ceremony in Rome To: International-Year-Millets <International-Year-Millets@fao.org> Cc: ... Team: The United nations FAO is seeking “airline-sized” and non-perishable samples of products made with sorghum and millets. I believe there could be room for both food and some industrial product samples as examples of what sorghum and millets can do. The products will be made available at the International Year of Millets Opening Ceremony in Rome on December 6. If you would like your product to be featured, please contact Mr. Riccardo Mazzucchelli at: international-year-millets@fao.org. Time is of the essence here. Please contact Mr. Mazzucchelli right away if you are interested and capable of being of assistance in filling their request and showcasing your product on a global stage. If you know someone who should have been included on this message but wasn’t, please feel free to forward the request.
