Asia Pacific Food & Fibre Summit



Are you looking to capitalize on the growing dining boom in Asia?

 

Economic growth and rising wages in the developing world is driving growth across many markets, but in particular Asia’s increased food consumption now provides an enormous opportunity for Australia and New Zealand’s agricultural industry.

 

By 2050 it is estimated that agricultural outputs will need to grow by at least 60% to meet the growing demand of Asian consumption.

 

However, this strong agricultural demand is met with growing supply chain constraints which could hinder the potential for Australian and New Zealand’s agricultural trade into Asia.

 

Informa Australia are pleased to announce the Inaugural Asia Pacific Food & Fibre Summit, to be held on the 30-31 October 2014, in Melbourne.

 

The program will address three core themes which will enable you to pin point exactly how your company can take advantage of the growing dining boom in Asia:

  • The Challenges of Financing Future Supply Chains
  • Improving the Efficiency and Infrastructure of Logistics of Supply Chains
  • Growing Innovation and Entrepreneurship

This event will bring together strategic delegations from agribusiness supply chains, to discuss how best to capitalize on the growing demand for agricultural products in Asia.
