The conference will provide participants a platform to exchange innovative ideas and an opportunity to keep abreast with current developments in the world. The conference will critically examine lipid processing industry for sustainable development. It will focus not only on edible oils, but also on oil based eco-friendly products such as bio-fuels and surfactants.

Food and fuel are two most basic human needs. Ensuring "FOOD and ENERGY SECURITY" are the top most concerns of economists and scientists engaged in the domain of lipids and fuels. The growing role of lipids in surfactants and soaps has opened up interesting possibilities for discussions and debate. The challenge is to achieve this goal without environmental degradation.

A distinguished panel of experts from across the world will deliberate on updated business models and emerging technologies. The aim is to reduce processing costs and enhance quality and yield of the product while conserving critical resources such as water and power. Environmental and regulatory issues would be highlighted too. ENVIRONMENT, ENERGY AND FOOD SECURITY ARE GOING TO BE THE BACKBONE OF THE THEME OF THIS CONVENTION.

Top level global participation by Governments, Policy Makers, Industry leaders, Scientists, Technologists, Academia, and Consultants will help the community in charting out a working agenda for the coming two decades.
