Brief success stories of “CAC INDIA SUMMIT 2010”

The objectives of “CAC INDIA SUMMIT 2010” is aptly seen in the selected Theme, which combines the synergy of the agrochemical industry.

In “CAC INDIA SUMMIT 2010” there were few selected presentations from key experienced speakers from the industry from India, China and U.K. who had experience in Technology, Market Potential of each country and experience of registration in China and India.  The presentation also included market potential and opportunity of investment in both the countries as well as joint ventures, contract manufacturing facilities, joint research programmes to be established for the development of new molecules.  The details of presentations are included in the proceedings brought out on "CAC INDIA SUMMIT 2010”.

The B2B Summit was sponsored by following companies from India and China :

* Vision & Road Map
* Research Strategy & Tactics
* Structure & Screening
* Pipeline & Portfolio Management

The details are discussed in the paper and on that basis, he has suggested to establish a Task Force comprising of experts in Oganic and bio-chemical industry, Chemists by Synthesis.  As business in agrochemicals in India and China is mainly in generic products, it is the need of the hour to develop new molecules which will address future needs.  Dr. Baylis has suggested guidelines such as  –

- Random screening
- Natural products chemistry
- Research strategy in source of leads, rational design and molecular modeling as well as its analysis including that of Patent-busting “Me too”.  He suggested that “Patent Busting” and “Me Too” has lower risk and can be first tried and can be considered as short cut for developing new molecules.
- As both the countries – India & China – has bio-diversity, it can source natural products as bio-pesticides.

2. “Indian Pesticide Market and Trade Opportunities for Chinese and Indian Companies”
