Global Agro-Industries Forum 2008

Tuesday, April 8, 2008- Saturday, April 12, 2008

New Delhi, India
WHY THE GLOBAL FORUM?
The development of competitive agro-industries is crucial for creating employment and income opportunities and for enhancing the demand for farm products.
Agro-industry development has the potential to provide employment for the rural poor in off-farm activities such as handling, packaging, processing, transporting, and marketing of food and agricultural produce.

There are also risks and trade-offs in agro-industrial development often affecting the most vulnerable countries and people.
It is thus important to build on experiences and understandings of trends, in order to formulate sound policies and strategies for fostering agro-industries.

The Global Agro-Industries Forum 2008 is co-organized by FAO, UNIDO, IFAD and the Government of India.
