event overview
Why is the China Bio-Agriculture Industry Summit 2011 a must?
Based on the biological as well as information technology, the global agricultural science and technology is waging a new great revolution. Meanwhile, bio-agriculture industry, marked by the significant breakthrough of agricultural bio-technology, evolves as the focus and commanding height of the agricultural industry’s competition and development.
China's State Council approved the plan to make biotechnology a "pillar technology industry" in 2009 and bio-industry is among the seven strategic new industries whose development will be promoted under the plan that is called the country's "next RMB 4 trillion stimulus package” announced by the council in Sep. 2010. China will also accelerate the infrastructure development for the industry’s growth during the 12th five-year plan period. In the next 12 years, China will invest additional $3.5 billion to support the research and development of GM crops. It is also estimated that the bio-agricultural increase will be amounted to 300 billion yuan in 2020.
Against this background, the premier event will be gathering the leading practitioners from regulators, associations and research institutions as well as the decision makers from major players across bio-agricultural community including agricultural seed providers, crop protection chemical producers, fertilizer suppliers, technology providers, R&D equipment manufacturers, warehousing and transportation service providers, distributors, food and healthcare product processors, investors and advisors, etc to present an overall picture of policy support, market trends, prospects for the multi-national cooperation in R&D, agricultural bio-tech innovations and investment climate of the industry.
We sincerely look forward to your participation in this significant gathering.
