  • Because we’re providing insight into what comes next: What’s Next for Ag Economies and Crop Input Companies? Join CoBank’s Kenneth Zuckerberg, Senior Economist, Corporate Strategist and Lead Industry Analyst to discuss how agriculture economies are more globally interdependent than ever, and how disruptions create a ripple effect of unintended consequences that can result in sudden demand shifts ranging from immediate and temporary to protracted and permanent. Learn why COVID is more than a disruption: It’s a seminal moment in the transformation of food production systems and the use of crop inputs that drive those systems. Understand how shifting consumer demand is changing the seed we plant, the food we eat, and ultimately the demand for traditional crop protection and fertilizer products.
  • Because industry-leading data is still our core focus: Around the World in 60 Minutes: 2020-2021 Supply and Demand Outlook: Join Kynetec’s Dr. Bob Fairclough, Principal Consultant for Ag Market Insights as he shares industry-leading benchmark data on crop input supply, demand, and trending shifts in agriculture production and product use around the world. Learn how major markets in the U.S., EU, and Brazil are planning for 2020-2021, and identify opportunities in emerging marketing in LATAM, Asia and Eastern Europe. We know this talk is a big reason many attend the Trade Summit, and this year will feature more opportunity to ask questions and interact with presenters during the conference sessions.
  • Because the supply chain has never been more important: How To Mitigate Supply Chain Risk, Expert Panel Discussion and Live Q&A: Join Stephen Pearce, Director of AWP Associates, to discuss supply, demand, and logistics as companies navigate a new normal amid heightened uncertainty and ongoing disruption. He’ll also lead a discussion with a panel of experts to explore individual markets, affected AIs, and what you can do to ensure your business is positioned to thrive during the downturn and capitalize on the economic rebound. Pearce is an editorial advisor to AgriBusiness Global and is an expert in strategic sourcing.
