The interest in China for Beyond-Agriculture markets is strong, especially as China already represents over 10% of the global market”.

The presentations, all managed through simultaneous Mandarin/English translation, bring together a unique mix of global and national experts to share their views and data on these exciting markets. The seminar will be chaired by Rob Fryatt of Xenex Associates who will add his own experience to each of the key topics. Both morning and afternoon sessions will conclude with a panel discussion and there will be an opportunity to speak to any of the presenters one to one during the day.

The three themes for the seminar are:

• The major chemical active ingredients used in Beyond-Agriculture markets. This will include a profile of the territories, market sectors and future potential.
