2nd Annual Conference

The Impact of Biofuels on
Commodity Markets

Assess the consequences for the food and animal feed industries of rising biodiesel and ethanol production

 25-26 September 2007, Brussels

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!
