International Conference on Agro-industry

This year conference will be head at International University of Japan, in Niigata — a region known for producing high quality rice, well-known brands of sake, mushroom, giant-sized strawberries, tulips, and various kinds of value added agri-products.  The conference would also give participants to see for themselves the highly advanced agro industry and use of
technology for increasing efficiencies.
