The Asian Productivity Organization’s food and agribusiness conference got underway July 15 in Taipei City, further underscoring Taiwan’s growing role in global agriculture biotechnology.

Other attendees include representatives from India, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan, the Philippines, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam, as well as experts from the Asia-Pacific Association of Agricultural Research Institutions.
A total of 16 international and domestic specialists have been invited to share their insights into emerging trends, experiences in strategy formulation and knowledge of agribiotech application to food production. Discussion topics include the risks and management of applying biotechnology to food production and the ecosystem, as well as fostering the application of biotechnology by small and medium producers, the COA said.
On the final day of the conference, participants will visit the Bio Taiwan 2013.
