With the industry now engaging in consolidation, the fertilizers sector is gearing up for a transformative, higher value-added future. To ensure its sustainable growth, GCC fertilizer producers must innovate new products and business models. They must diversify their portfolios by developing enhanced quality products and capitalize on the opportunities in key emerging markets.
Held under the theme ‘Transformation: A New Era for the Agri-nutrients Industry’, the 10th edition of GPCA Fertilizers Convention will be held on 24-26 September 2019 at Kempinski Hotel Muscat, Oman.
The convention aims to discuss and debate subjects of great industry significance such as disruptive technologies, digitalization, integration, future opportunities in agri-nutrients and many more which are aimed at supporting collaboration along the value chain and fostering food security. This year’s edition of this prestigious event will focus on driving value through innovation to create strong growth for the agri-nutrients industry. Workshops focused on human capital and technical sessions on environmental stewardship will provide further opportunities to learn about best practices from the region and globally at this important industry platform.
“Now in its 10th edition, the GPCA Fertilizers Convention, through its enriching and thought-provoking discussions, has added immense value to the GCC agri-nutrients industry. With the focus this year on transformation, we are excited to bring you trending subjects which will drive value through innovation and create strong growth for the agri-nutrient industry.”
