In 2010/11 the country has suffered greatest ever drought, which is to have long term outcomes and consequences. However drought, as every crisis, creates a new opportunity window. What are the start-up economic conditions and market environment in 2011/12 season? How the drought affected the main agricultural regions? Are the government measures sufficient and adequate to the situation? How the companies' strategies are adopting along the vertical supply chain? What are the new values for agricultural assets in post- crisis economy? These and other issues will be in the focus of the Conference.

We believe the Conference will stimulate the exchange of news and new ideas, and contribute to better corporate strategies and government decisions.
