Pressbox (Press Release) -
On 25-26 November in Prague, the Agriculture industry will converge at AgriYield 2010 with one agenda: to discuss and discover cutting-edge advances that will move farms closer to sustainability & profitability
The Central and Eastern European Agricultural market is poised for massive growth and development. Driven by a huge surge of investment interest within the financial community, this agri-explosion responds to the rising global corn demand, the shrinking surplus and the need to ensure the world’s future food security. Agriculture is an industry that in 2010 will exceed 355 billion euros in the EU alone.
The monumental potential of the land in the CEE and CIS needs to be harnessed in order to ensure a greater share of the 355 billion. To accomplish this and to avoid gambling on fluctuating grain prices (dependent on crop failures such as August’s Russian grain crisis and subsequent embargo) farms need to be transformed by taking advantage of the enormous leaps made by technology and input developers to minimise crop risk and waste to increase yield.
Responding to these challenges AgriUpdate has created AgriYield 2010: The Central and Eastern European Agricultural Yield and Input Optimisation Summit, the CEE’s premier Agricultural event that shows how to create a profitable, productive and sustainable business.
AgriYield 2010 is set to be the CEE’s leading Agricultural event. Quite simply, it is the industry’s newest and most exclusive meeting place for learning, networking and setting up deals.
This summit will bring together leading producers, key input and technology suppliers, influential financiers and traders, governmental organisations and prominent associations, to address the key issues affecting agricultural yield optimisation in Central and Eastern Europe including:
• Finance: Proven methods to devise and implement a comprehensive finance strategy so that both your investment and working capital grow.
• Sustainability: Practical, strategic steps to ensure the integration of a sustainable business model.
• Fertiliser: R&D developments and precision techniques to reduce risk and improve soil structure and health.
• Crop Protection: New improvements within the industry that will secure the safety of your crops.
• Seeds and GM issues: legislative issues and R&D biotech developments that will revolutionise your yield and how your business infrastructure will need to adapt.
• Technology R&D: Technological advances that could reduce input costs and monitor effectively your crops’ health whilst ensuring that you are realising your existing technology’s true potential.
• Workforce management: Agriculture is finding it increasingly hard to attract young, competent employees to drive your future forward. Discover tried and tested innovative ideas that will enable your business to go from strength to strength.
• Biofuels: Take advantage of the expertise of speakers who are uniquely well placed to advise on how to assimilate biofuel production with your crops so that you can come away armed with the knowledge needed to change your business.
Such is the importance of this event that more than 30 of Agriculture’s most influential figures, innovators and agronomic experts are joining forces to address the summit. The key organisations that they represent include the International Finance Corporation, Syngenta, Monsanto, the FAO, the ECPA, Fertilizers Europe, Trigon Agri and Landkom International amongst many others.
