UIBC, the International Union of Bakers and Confectioners, represents the global community of this essential sector for people around the world. Bread and pastries are a fundamental part of food and tradition on every continent and in every culture. Although the variety of products created by professional bakers and confectioners is immense, the basic ingredients are often similar, as are the challenges the sector faces in different regions. Therefore, UIBC supports National Baking and Confectionery Associations, highlighting and promoting the exceptional work of these professionals worldwide.
