Located on the silk road, Uzbekistan has long been a crossroads for trade, academia and culture in the region. In this respect, this IFA regional conference will provide the opportunity for fertilizer executives to meet and discuss those issues at the crossroads of the three IFA standing committees (Production and International Trade, Agriculture, and Technical) from market and supply trends to safety in production. In particular, the event will emphasize the Association’s focus on promoting the “Safety First” mentality both broadly as well as specifically in regional markets.
