CropWorld 2010 is a globally focused, three-day conference and exhibition providing unique learning, knowledge sharing and networking opportunities for those involved with the increasingly complex world of global food production.
This event builds on the foundations of the former British Crop Production Council Congress and is an internationally recognised conference and exhibition encompassing every aspect of the crop production value chain from soil preparation and seeds to shops and store shelves. It focuses on how business, trade, science and technology can work together to meet the challenges facing the cropping sector as it endeavours to feed a rapidly growing population in a responsible, sustainable and profitable way.

Exhibition

The CropWorld 2010 exhibition will provide the ultimate platform for stakeholders from across the crop production industry to network, share knowledge, grow business and develop relationships. In addition to the wide range of industry sectors exhibiting at the event, you will find focused zones covering the following areas:
| Science | Machinery | Skills and Careers | Innovations | Generics
Running alongside the exhibition is the conference which is packed full of key industry speakers. However, with so much demand for speaking slots we are delighted to confirm that exhibitors and sponsors at the show can also take to the stage in their very own Speakers Corner taking place on the show floor.
