WOMEN IN GRAIN | PRISCILLA BAKALIAN, HEAD OF BÜHLER’S AFRICAN MILLING SCHOOL (2022–2025)

From ‘too young’ to trusted technical leader in milling

From 2022 to 2025, she led Bühler’s African Milling School, a role where credibility is earned through technical depth, consistency, and results, often in highly technical environments that have traditionally been male-dominated.

In her mini-interview, Priscilla reflects on:
• how starting her career young meant working harder to earn credibility,
• how teaching, plant exposure, and consistently delivering outcomes helped shift perceptions over time,
• and how women’s visibility is rising in process engineering, quality, operations, and leadership.

Her message to women considering milling and grain processing: earn trust through technical expertise and integrity, master the fundamentals, say yes to stretch projects, build your network and document your impact with measurable results.

WOMEN IN GRAIN | AYTEN ÇANDAR IŞIK, BOARD MEMBER, ÇANDAROĞULLARI DERYA UN VE YEM SAN.

From logistics and journalism to a flour fortress

Meet Ayten Çandar Işık: Born and raised in Germany, she earned a Master’s degree in Economics from Ruhr University Bochum, built early career experience in logistics and journalism, and later joined her family company, Çandaroğulları Derya Un ve Yem San. Each chapter, she says, strengthened her resilience, turning early prejudices into drive and productivity.

In her mini-interview, Ayten reflects on:
• how success in milling is built with the right team, not alone,
• how women’s attention to detail, communication strength, and analytical thinking can accelerate business momentum,
• and why the biggest barrier is often a mindset.

Her message to young women entering milling is encouraging:
“Believe in yourself, stay determined, and keep developing. Don’t fear mistakes—treat them as experience. Invest in yourself, ignore negative voices”

WOMEN IN GRAIN | NATALJA SKURATOVIC, SENIOR ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE, EARTHDAILY AGRO

From silo dust to the heart of global grain trade

Natalja Skuratovic’s grain story began at a grain elevator—watching her aunt work and absorbing the sounds, dust, and farmers’ market talk. Years later, a scholarship-funded path from Kyiv to Utrecht led to two degrees and a place in Glencore’s Trader Trainee program, where she learned the trade end-to-end: from ex*****on and freight to finance, legal, and trading.

In her mini-interview, Natalja reflects on:
• how earlymemories and human connection can quietly shape a career long before the industry has a name,
• why understanding the entire trade chain matters,
• and what is changing for women in trading and leadership.

Her message to young women: “Don’t wait to be ‘ready.’

WOMEN IN GRAIN | SVITLANA SYNKOVSKA, PORTFOLIO DIRECTOR FOR WIA

No more “only woman in the room”

With 20+ years in international agriculture and travel to more than 50 countries, Svitlana Synkovska has watched women’s presence expand across the value chain, especially in trading, processing, and management, while also seeing how uneven representation can still be from region to region.

In her mini-interview, Svitlana reflects on:
• how female visibility has grown on stage and in industry agendas,
• why mindset shifts matter as much as representation,
• a turning point she observed first-hand in 2024.

Now, in her role at Women in Agribusiness (WIA), she is helping drive this momentum by empowering, connecting, and elevating women across the global agriculture and food industries.

Her message is clear: visibility is rising, but the work is not finished.

WOMEN IN GRAIN | MASHA BELIKOVA, SENIOR EDITOR, FASTMARKETS

The woman who sees the world through grain flows

Masha Belikova entered the grain world by chance but quickly realised its unique paradox: a market that is vast in scale, yet remarkably small and interconnected in the relationships that drive it.

In her mini-interview, Masha reflects on:
• why global grain flows matter far beyond economics,
• how the industry can open doors to worldwide connections and friendships you never expected to build,
• and the realities of a fast-moving, volatile, still largely male-dominated space

Her message to young women is honest:
“If you’re looking for a job that can captivate you, in an industry where no year is ever the same as the previous one, and where you can build friendships across the globe, the grain and agri world might be exactly the right place for you.”

WOMEN IN GRAIN | ATİYE ECE ERKAN, CHAIRPERSON OF THE BOARD, TURUN FLOUR MILLS

Women’s perspectives are transforming milling

Atiye Ece Erkan leads Turun Flour Mills with a clear focus on two priorities that increasingly define competitiveness in milling: high-quality production and innovation.

In her mini-interview, Atiye reflects on:
• why flour sits at the core of a country’s food security,
• how stepping into milling revealed a sector that is dynamic and open to innovation,
• and what motivates her today.

Her message to young women:
“Be brave and don’t give up. Milling demands technical knowledge, patience, and determination. Stay open to developing yourself, get to know the sector closely, find the right mentors and success becomes inevitable.”

WOMEN IN GRAIN | JULIANA FARAH, PRESIDENT, AGRICULTURAL SOWING COMMISSION, FAESP (BRAZIL)

Small-town girl turned national force for rural women in Brazil

Juliana Farah leads FAESP’s Agricultural Sowing Commission, bringing a rare combination of on-farm production experience, entrepreneurship, and advocacy for rural causes, especially for rural women.

Juliana’s story is defined by breaking barriers early. As the only woman among three brothers, she learned to navigate male-dominated environments from childhood, working alongside her father while also building an entrepreneurial mindset from a young age. Later, she balanced motherhood with professional growth, founded a women-led credit recovery company, and without ever leaving agriculture fully immersed herself in her family’s rural operations.
Today she divides her time between countryside and city, producing soybeans, corn, and beef cattle in Mato Grosso and São Paulo.

In her mini-interview, Juliana reflects on:
• how resilience is built over time,
• why agriculture demands innovative, collaborative solutions amid volatility, climate risk, policy shifts, and geopolitics,
• and how women’s roles in Brazilian agribusiness are expanding.

Her message to young women in agriculture is a call to courage and belief:
“You already have everything you need to transform your dream into a great harvest. Honor your history, honor the land you cultivate and, above all, honor your ability to undertake and lead.”

WOMEN IN GRAIN | MARIAM AL-HAZAA, BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MANAGER, AL HAZAA

Born into milling, leading the shift

Mariam Al-Hazaa, Business Development Manager at Al Hazaa Investment Group, a next-generation leader for whom flour milling has never been “just a business,” but part of a family identity shaped across generations.

For Mariam, joining the sector was never in doubt. Inspired early by her father’s passion—and the positive impact that milling creates—she describes a motivation that has only grown stronger over time.

In her mini-interview, Mariam reflects on:
• how multi-generational milling shapes identity, purpose, and long-term commitment,
• why collaboration and mutual support remain defining strengths across the milling community,
• and how the industry is gradually opening up

Her message to young women is simple and decisive:
“To young women considering this path: go for it. It’s a dynamic, evolving industry full of opportunity and purpose.”

WOMEN IN GRAIN | CHRISTINA SEREBRIAKOVA, CEO, ASAP AGRI & BROKER, ATRIA BROKERS

A woman balancing grain intelligence and frontline trading

Christina Serebriakova lives in two worlds at once—grain intelligence and frontline broking—bridging analysis with ex*****on in a market shaped by weather, politics, freight, and human psychology.

Christina entered the industry thinking analytics would be “just a job.” Instead, she found herself among people who didn’t simply read markets, they felt them. Later, physical trading reinforced the same truth: the best operators sense shifts before any chart confirms them.

In her mini-interview, Christina reflects on:
• why grain markets behave less like spreadsheets and more like ecosystems reacting to policy, freight, and sentiment,
• how her two roles create a built-in reality check
• and why reconciling theory with practice creates a discipline clients can feel on both sides of the trade.

Her message to young women:
“Come in. Don’t romanticise this business, but don’t be afraid of it either… If you feel even a small spark of interest—follow it, and the flame will catch.”

WOMEN IN GRAIN | ZÜLEYHA ÇAKMAK, BOARD MEMBER, BEŞLER FLOUR

Carrying a family mill into a modern, sustainable future

Meet Züleyha Çakmak, a next-generation leader helping carry a long-established family milling business into the future through a more modern, innovative, and sustainable approach.

Züleyha’s connection to milling began in childhood. In her family, the mill was never “just” a production site, it was a shared space of responsibility and teamwork. After completing her university education and master’s degree abroad, she made a deliberate choice to return and take an active role in the business.

In her mini-interview, Züleyha reflects on:
• why modernising a family mill is as much about people and culture as it is about operations,
• how a woman’s management perspective can strengthen cohesion, attention to detail, and long-term thinking,
• and the real challenges women face on the floor

Her message to young women:

“Trust yourself and know that you deserve a seat at the table… What keeps a mill running is not only the mechanical systems; it is the people who give that system its spirit, direction and meaning.”
