Second International Seed Trade Conference 2007 in CWANA Region,
(2nd ISTC2007)
After a successful First International Seed Trade Conference, held in November 2005 in Antalya, Turkey, the National Seed Council of Egypt, the Turkish Seed Industry Association (TURKTED) and the International Center for Agricultural in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) announce the Second International Seed Trade Conference 2007 in CWANA Region to be held in October 2007 in Cairo, Egypt.
The second international seed trade conference aims at promoting seed trade within and between Central Asia, West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) and the rest of the world. The conference will not only provide opportunities for seed trade, but also contribute to the dialogue between the private and public sector regarding harmonization of regulatory frameworks to promote seed trade in the region. A major focus of the conference will be the trade exhibitions by seed companies, seed equipment manufacturers, agricultural input supply companies, and agricultural machinery manufacturers. Companies interested in participating in the conference or exhibition of products should contact the conference secretariat.
The Conference will overlap with the Cairo Agricultural Fair, an international exhibition of agriculture, horticulture, and floriculture held each year.
Venue of the Conference
Cairo is the jewel of the orient, and a melting pot of ancient and modern Egyptian civilizations. It lies at the centre of all routes leading to, and from the three continents: Asia, Africa and Europe. The city is mild and dry in winter.
