CropWorld South America 2010
IFAJ is a supporting partner of the CropWorld South America 2010 conference and exhibition in Sao Paulo, Brazil on August 23 and 24.
Leading experts from organisations such as Andef, Sindag and Aenda will discuss the challenges of taking Brazil’s crop area from 60 million to a 70 million hectares target within the next decade.
As a supporting partner, IFAJ is promoted on conference websites, and press passes are available for journalists from our member organisations interesting in investigating the strategies to drive South America’s agrochemical sector on the global stage.
Topics addressed will vary from the focus on crop production sustainability in Brazil to eliminating pests and diseases through biotechnology, addressing the challenge of smuggled and counterfeit products, and “the genetic revolution versus Ecotopia”.
The main organiser is the Brazilian division of UBM, a leading global business media company.
The event will take place at the Amcham Convention Centre.
Online registration for CropWorld South America will be available shortly on the www.cropworld-southamerica.com website, which also has visa information.
