BIGGEST BIO AG SOLUTIONS CONFERENCE & EXPO 2024 will be held on 27-28 Sept 2024 at HICC NOVOTEL, HYDERABAD, INDIA. There has been a steady and growing realization that biologicals are here to stay because of all the benefits of using a biological â the increase in biodiversity and soil health and reduction in greenhouse gases and carbon footprint.
The good news is we are hearing more about measuring return on investment (ROI), where it is not just the price per jug/ price per acre or hectare, but rather what yield and quality increase that input cost gets you.
On another note, given the pressure on chemical pesticides and the innovation and increased performance of biologicals, larger companies continue to invest in biologicals through collaborations and M&A activity. Valuations continue to be quite robust on the private side, while the public markets have been terribly unfavourable for the whole ag biotech sector, with record low valuations. Sustainable agriculture and the biologicals sector are very dynamic and will continue to change rapidly. What worked in the past is not necessarily how to operate going forward.
