Agrifuture Conference
The event
The Agrifuture Conference stands as a premier platform for knowledge exchange and networking, delving into the challenges of agriculture in ASEAN with a dedicated focus on sustainability and efficiency enhancement. This event, complemented by an impressive exhibition showcase, engages participants from government, specialist organizations, universities, and the private sector across ASEAN and globally. With a comprehensive program that includes seminars, networking events, and field visits, the Agrifuture Conference is at the forefront of fostering collaboration and innovation in the agricultural landscape.
In its editions in 2019 and 2023, Agrifuture Conference brought together key leaders such as Kubota, John Deere, CNH, CLAAS and AGCO. The exhibition is highly supported by the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives (Thailand), the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (Germany) and specialist organizations from across the region.
The market
As the global population continues to grow, so does the demand for food. By 2050, the world's population is estimated to reach nine billion, leading to a 40% increase in food demand. Southeast Asia, which is one of the main contributors to this growth, is also seeing a rapidly growing middle class. The region is facing the climate change, increasing food demand, labor shortages, and fierce competition, which is driving the need for reduced production costs and changes in Southeast Asian agriculture. Along with this, many governmental institutions are promoting the implementation of Agriculture 4.0 to address these challenges.
Furthermore, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations is fostering regional integration in economic cooperation, food trade development, and agri-innovations for sustainable food production across Southeast-Asian countries. To prepare for these challenges and opportunities, the Agrifuture Conference & Exhibition will bring together influential stakeholders to discuss and address these issues and pave the way for tomorrow's agribusiness.
