SINGAPORE, July 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --The inaugural Agri-Food Tech Expo Asia (AFTEA), an event of Constellar, with international partner DLG (the German Agricultural Society) and a key participating event of Singapore International Agri-Food Week (SIAW),takes place from 26th to 28th October this year. In the lead-up to this 3-day event, AFTEA will be launching a series of industry-curated workshops - themed Ag-Volution For The Future - aimed at inspiring corporations, investors, smallholders, entrepreneurs and young graduates in Asia to join the movement in changing the region's agriculture industries with technology and innovation. With countries becoming more susceptible to food security issues, current agricultural models are no longer meeting the demands of ensuring food security and sustainable agricultural development for the future. There is a critical need for the region to come together now and accelerate pace in exploring and adopting technology and innovation to improve the quality, efficiency, output of agricultural processes and products. "Building awareness is the first and crucial step towards understanding current industry challenges before exploring solutions to address them. As the region's only premier trade exhibition for the agri-food tech sector, we brought together the region's industry experts for a specially curated series of regional roadshows focused on demystifying current industry issues and heightening participants' awareness of the urgent need to strengthen the region's agri-food tech and food production supply chains," said Mr James Boey, Senior Vice President, Markets, Constellar.

At these regional workshops participants will gain direct access to industry experts, business leaders and key industry stakeholders for first-hand insights on industry challenges, empowering them to make informed decisions when exploring solutions and collaborations at October's AFTEA.
