KUALA LUMPUR: Now calling for agricommodity exhibitors across the region, the Malaysia International Agricommodity Expo & Summit 2022 (MIACES), hosted by the Ministry of Plantation Industries and Commodities (MPIC), expects to create over USD 68 billion export value for the sector in a global marketplace event with the participation of over 20 countries.
Minister of Plantation Industries and Commodities of Malaysia Datuk Hajah Zuraida Kamaruddin, highlights, “In line with the recent urge by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to rapidly accelerate digitalization in rural communities in the Asia-Pacific, we recognise that MIACES is a timely step-forward that connects industry players with innovative solutions; contributing towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) especially as the world faces a changing climate.”
Happening at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC), Kuala Lumpur from 26 to 28 July, MIACES showcases an exhibition of in-demand commodity products, services, and up-and-coming agri-technology under one roof. The 3-day event also features conferences, roundtable discussions, B2B meetings, and an evening of prestigious awards in recognition of movers and shakers in the sector.
With international participation from 20 countries, the industry players and participants at MIACES will be able to gain exposure, expand their investment potential and maximise their products gains into international markets in an industry valued at an estimated USD756 billion globally.
Zuraida adds, “Competition is now at its toughest, with growing demand for food goods in the face of climate change and gaps in food supply worldwide. When breaking into the international market, industry players must adapt fast in leveraging sustainable technological innovations and optimising a dependable ecosystem to minimise reliability and quality issues.”
Thus, MIACES will serve as a one-stop centre for meeting the supply and demand within the ecosystem locally and globally, from producers, innovators, trade exporters and importers, and investors, to key policymakers, researchers, and members of academia.
Themed “Advancing Agricommodity in Sustainable Ecosystem,” showcasing various agricommodity products, this year’s MIACES features focus sectors of Palm Oil, Rubber, Timber, Cocoa, Pepper & Kenaf, among the main drivers of the national economy of Malaysia as the summit’s hosting country.-PRNewswire/BNN
