Central and South America is emerging as the new frontier for oil palm expansion as its vast availability of suitable land appeals to industry players affected by the land squeeze in Malaysia and Indonesia. Land in the two Asian countries is getting increasingly limited over the years and pressure is on the industry players as global palm oil demand continues to climb.

Join your industry peers at CMT's 5th Palm Oil Summit in Jakarta on August 20-21, 2013 to evaluate this shift from Asia to Central and South America. Some of the issues to be discussed are: What are the trends, forecasts and challenges that awaits the industry? How can we learn from oil palm cultivation in this region and apply it to Asia? Are there opportunities for Asian plantation companies to go there?

Plan your moves with advice from Tropical Crop Consultants, Dr. Thomas Fairhurst, as he shares on Perspectives on oil palm cultivation in Central and South America, quoting examples from Guatemala, Colombia, Ecuador and Panama. Providing insights on behalf of EMBRAPA is Mr. Geraldo Stachetti Rodrigues, who shares on sustainability of oil palm plantations expansions in Brazil.

An updates-filled summit, the 5th Palm Oil Summit is the one-stop platform for accurate, first-hand industry updates and networking opportunities.
