23 Jun 2026
Auditorium
Main Stage
  • To what extent is LATAM reliant on other countries for fertilizer, and what long-term strategies can be established to reduce dependence on international product?
  • To what extent have global fertilizer shortages changed bionutrition solutions from supplemental inputs to a core component of LATAM’s nutrient management strategies?
  • What proof points, such as yield stability, soil health, stress resilience, and cost efficiency, are still missing to convince large growers and agribusinesses to adopt? How are leading bionutrition companies using data, AI, and field validation to accelerate R&D while demonstrating consistent ROI across diverse soils, climates, and crops?
  • Which commercial and go-to-market models are proving most effective in scaling new fertilizers profitably across the region?
