Qatar Hosts the Second Annual GPCA Fertilizer Convention
Doha, September 18 (QNA) - The 2nd Annual Fertilizer Convention, co-hosted for the second year running by the Gulf Petrochemicals and Chemicals Association (GPCA) will be held in Doha from 19-21 September 2011.
HE Dr Mohammed Saleh Al Sada, the Minister of Energy and Industry will be making an address on the opening day of the event, Qatar Fertilizer Company (QAFCO) has said in a statement.
The two day-events is being held under the theme "Growth in Volatile Markets" and it is expected to bring together over 300 international delegates from the most influential organisations within the industry.
The programme will focus on the current and future climate for fertilizer investment into the future, highlighting key players leading the way, principal regions calling the shots and major future projects affecting the market balance.
Volatility in fertilizer markets is nothing new, but companies have been navigating particularly difficult market conditions in the last couple of years since the unprecedented price spike at the end of 2008.
GPCA was the first trade association formed in the Gulf region in 2006 by its eight visionary founding members: SABIC, Tasnee, Qapco, QVC, Borouge, GPIC, PIC, and Equate.
Its vision foresaw the need for a voluntary and non-profit association focused on providing the resources, aid and technical assistance, needed by the petrochemicals and chemicals industry of the Gulf.
Established in 1974, Qatar Petrochemical Co. (QAPCO) is one of the leading petrochemical producers and suppliers in the world, and began full commercial production in 1981.
As a global company with networks all around the world, QAPCO serves over 4000 customers through its liaison offices which are strategically positioned in key countries across the globe.
Its main products are Ethylene, Low Density Poly Ethylene, and Sulphur, which is an additional sellable commodity generated as a byproduct in the production process. (QNA)
