The 2nd
annual Impact of Biofuels on Commodity Markets conference gives
you the chance to assess the latest movements in agricultural
commodity markets and the effect which increasing ethanol and
biodiesel production will have in the coming years.
The demand for
grains, oilseeds and sugar as feedstocks for ethanol and biodiesel has
been blamed for the volatility and rising prices which are putting
pressure on both the food industry and biofuels producers. Hear
analysis of how this will affect output levels and the outlook for
price inflation in these markets.
If you are
responsible for procuring agriculture commodities, risk management or
economic planning, this conference is an unrivalled opportunity to
hear expert perspectives on the interplay between biofuels and
commodity markets:
-
Alexandra
Langenheld, of DG Energy and Transport and
Russell Mildon, of DG Agriculture and Rural Development
give an insight into future European policy on the promotion of
biofuels and the monitoring of their impact on food markets
-
Emmanuel Jayet of
BNP Paribas analyses how the price of biofuels and of oil
will stimulate supply and demand in agricultural crops
-
Mark Woldberg of
Royal Nedalco, pioneers in 2nd generation ethanol
production, examines what role this will have in the biofuels
industry in the medium term and the consequent impact on demand for
food products as feedstocks
Representatives
of the Brazilian and US governments give you a global view of
an issue which has hit the headlines across the world, with potential
impacts coming not only from an increase in demand in the market but
also from increased competition for agricultural land.
Price rises in
animal feed are causing concern in the livestock sector and you
can hear how this will affect production and demand as processors look
to pass on price rises to customers.
Register today for this unique and extremely topical conference - we
look forward to seeing you in Brussels!
