Discover ways to tap emerging innovations to deliver agri-yield at AgrioBiotech & SEED Markets in Jakarta from October 12-13, 2010

Date:2010/8/6

As more and more new technologies emerge in a bid to improve agri-yield, more and more concerns relating to these new technologies sprout in the minds of decision makers. Key players in the AgriBiotech industry are heading to Jakarta from October 12-13, 2010 for theAgriBiotech and SEED Markets conference for a head start in finding the answers to these pressing issues.

There is a global consensus that the impending need to improve agricultural yield to feed the increasing world population is rising. In order to achieve that, there is a higher demand for quality seeds of improved varieties. At the same time, farmers all over the world are adopting new techniques rapidly. As moves are in place to increase the agricultural yield, questions related to these actions emerge and remain unanswered.

The Agribiotech and SEED Markets conference aims to provide the answers and insights to concerns pertaining to the types of agribiotech being developed, how innovations are being used across seed types to drive up yield and reduce input costs, the mechanisms in place for reducing technical barriers to trade and facilitate trade in seed and many more. Participants at the meet can expect to learn about the size of the seeds market, major players’ strategies, growth drivers and major issues facing the industry.

Besides updates from government agencies in ASEAN, China and India on their seed regulatory framework, recent plans to commercialize agribiotech and prospects for investment, the conference in Jakarta from October 12-13, 2010, will also provide assessments of current project pipeline, public-private partnership, key technology and seed trait work.

Contributing as speakers at this meet are  key industry players like Bayer Cropscience, slated to talk about their hybrid rice, as well as Syngenta, East West Seed, International Organization ISAAA plus many others.

In a bid to support sustainable economic growth and to contribute to growth in world trade, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has been set-up. To inform and to educate participants, the AgriBiotech and SEED Markets conference has invited a speaker from the organization to speak on the role of OECD Schemes for International Certification of Seed and Trade as well as the procedures of joining the OECD.

In short, the AgriBiotech & SEED Markets conference is tailor-made to provide delegates with the necessary information they require to capitalize on emerging innovations to deliver agri-yield.
