Soy conclave 2017 was a roaring success with participation by over 600 delegates from all over India and abroad. The conclave provided an excellent platform for interaction, networking, knowledge sharing, mixed with fun and frolic. The conclave, in many ways reflected the Hon’ble Prime Minister’s idea of “subka sath subka vikas”. Post the conclave, the edible oil, particularly, the soy business has seen historic policy changes having far reaching and long term consequences for the industry and trade.
To carry forward the notion of “togetherness and development for all” SOPA was again organised an International Soy Conclave 2018 on 6th and 7th October, 2018 at the Brilliant Convention Centre, Scheme No. 78, Vijay Nagar, Indore.
Soybean plays major role in the global oilseed economy having 59% share of total oilseed production. It is equally important for India, contributing to around 35% of our oilseed production. Over 5 Million farmers are engaged in soybean cultivation which is a major oilseed kharif crop in Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Rajasthan. The total volume of soybean trade, i.e. soybean, oil and meal is around Rs. 80,000 crores (US$ 12 billion). The Soy Conclave 2018 will provide an excellent opportunity for networking and developing business relations with the participants from all over the world, it will also give a platform to discuss all aspects of this industry and trade and make strategies for future growth. Additionally leaders in the poultry and feed industry will attend the event and this will offer an opportunity to do real business.
Authentic soybean crop estimates based on an extensive crop survey undertaken by SOPA teams and a price outlook session by experts will be one of the highlights of the Conclave. In addition, there will be presentations by experts on other subjects, including government policies, demand and supply, hedging through futures trading and other tools for making profit.
A number of VIPs, Ministers both from Central and State Government and senior government officials are being invited to address the conclave. We expect that the Soy Conclave will have over 500 delegates from India and abroad including representatives from trade and industry, scientists, technologists, farmers and experts in commodity business.
