“Simply, a great networking
opportunity to meet the key decision makers in the crop
protection arena for the exchange of ideas globally,” is how
long standing exhibitor, Nicola Mitchell, Managing Director, of
Ireland based Life Scientific Ltd, regards the
British Crop Protection
Council (BCPC) Congress and Exhibition.
As the largest and most comprehensive crop production and
protection event in Europe, the BCPC Congress and Exhibition –
which takes place in Glasgow, UK from 9 to 11 November 2009 – is
aimed at helping professionals from the sector meet future
challenges and gain commercial networking opportunities.
"You just have to be at the BCPC trade exhibition. It is an
ideal place to meet new clients and maintain existing
relationships. Year-on-year we have always gained new business
from exhibiting,” endorses Erhard Vandaele, business development
manager of Hungarian based LAB Research.
With an estimated £5m of high margin sales negotiated during the
BCPC exhibition, this international gathering allows exhibiting
companies to conduct business face-to-face with a number of
customers, in one place, and in just a few days.
“We believe that there are many opportunities for advancement in
this sector,” explains first time exhibitor, Miss Wei Hanhan,
Assistant General Manager of China based Sinochem Shanghai
Corporation. “We are always looking for options to work overseas
and get into international markets. We saw that the BCPC
Exhibition would offer us a chance to expand our knowledge, gain
new customers and learn more about the agrochemical culture.”
BIOAGRI has attended this event for more than five years. “It
has been one of the most important annual events for the company
in terms of sales in the European market.” explains Alvaro
Vargas, President Director of Brazil based BIOAGRI Labs. “It has
certainly helped us connect with a large number of colleagues
and get up-to-date with the latest innovations in this area.”
Exhibitors also find that the BCPC Congress provides a vision
for the future of crop production and protection. “We are
exhibiting for the first time because we want to get a clearer
understanding of global climatic changes and its impact on crops
and its consequential upside or downside on the crop protection
business world wide in the future,” explains C. M. Ashok Muni,
Director and Chief Operating Officer, of Indian company
Nagarjuna Agrichem Ltd. “We also hope that it will give us a
first-hand feel for the global economic downturn and the impact
it is having on this vital market sector.”
