The versatility of palm oil as ideal feedstock, especially in industries like food, biofuels and oleochemicals, has resulted in hefty investments by palm oil giants in countries conducive for plantation and production. For that reason, and designed to encompass the crucial aspects of the palm oil plantation operations CMT’s 4th Palm Oil Summit will delve into two focal themes of “Sustainable Oil Palm Plantations with improved agronomy practices” and "Riding on opportunities in Indonesia’s flourishing downstream activities”. Among the topic highlights are:
• Plantation expansion considering biodiversity conservation and opportunities in REDD
• High Yielding Planting Materials
• Ganoderma/Nutrient management
• Potential Opportunities in Myanmar & Africa
• Technologies for EFB/POME Treatment & Carbon Trading Options
• Palm Oil Refining Challenges & Downstream Markets
In view of the current market situation and huge potential growth opportunities, the 4th Palm Oil Summit in Bali also features detailed country-focused presentations on market trends and expansion opportunities in oil palm plantations across Thailand, India, Myanmar, Africa, Indonesia and Malaysia, in addition to sessions targeted at innovative solutions for ganoderma control.
