Producers are faced with the need not only to produce
agricultural products for the food industry but also to meet rising
demands from the energy and non-food sectors, while at the same
time respecting the environment.
The goals of Culturales® Sud 2008 fit within these challenges by allowing
producers to learn about the needs of the different markets, particular in the
non-food sector, and to become familiar with the latest innovations that will
allow them to meet these needs while remaining competitive.
Organized into 3 areas, the show offers you clear and accessible
messages to help you adapt your operation to meet tomorrow's challenges.
