AGRIWATCH & NCDEX is the third national conference on pulses and related industries. Times Food Processing Journal fetches the details
India is the largest producer and consumer of pulses in the world. Once incomprehensible to the people outside pulses industry, this business is getting more transparent with the changing trade scenario. Increased transparency in this business has pulled new class of investors and new set of challenges and issues for pulses industry, hence the reason why Agriwatch (Indian Agribusiness Systems) is organising AGRIWATCH & NCDEX on September 16, 2006 at New Delhi. The theme of the conference is 'Emerging challenges for the pulses industry in changing trade scenario'.
This yearly conclave in Delhi would feature processors, millers, exporters, importers, top buyers, traders, brokers and machinery manufacturers from all over the world. It will provide a unique marketing opportunity to network, make strategic alliances, share new technologies and explore joint ventures.
This national conference is an exclusive opportunity to meet potential clients from around the world. The experts on the panel will share their insights on various issues, including lack of uniformity in tax system (VAT) across different states, defaulters, payment delays, phyto-sanitary measures, freight and other policy issues. There will be an interactive session on supply and demand analysis for pulses, along with the release of crop estimates for the Kharif pulses crops. An expert panel will be commissioned to release the pulses production estimates in the country for 2007. The conference will offer an excellent opportunity for disseminating, sharing and exchanging the latest information about the pulses industry. Participants will get an opportunity to know about various critical case studies in the industry, which will help them in business planning.
The conference is expected to have a participation of more than 800 delegates (including international delegation) from trading houses, corporate groups, exporters/importers, brokers, millers,
traders, milling equipment, machinery manufacturers and so on. The one-to-one networking sessions would be useful for traders, policy makers, manufacturers and exporters to share views, network and explore existing and latent business opportunities globally - in the Middle East and African sub-continent.
