PRESIDENT, MEXICAN UNION OF AGROCHEMICALS MACUFACTURERS AND FORMULATORS (UMFFAAC)
"The most important role of our association is to communicate the technical and scientific advances of new products, dispelling notions of toxicity or harmful effects on people and the environment."
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, ARGENTINE CHAMBER OF THE CHEMICAL AND THE PETROCHEMICAL INDUSTRY (CIQyP)
"We expect positive news in chemical and petrochemical investments between 2025 and 2030, driven by domestic demand and a sustainable supply of natural gas and liquid gas."
"Our experience with regulations is unmatched in Latin America, covering extended producer responsibility, single-use plastics laws, and taxes on plastic bags and packaging."
"Waste is typically considered an environmental liability that companies must pay to dispose of. We are flipping this script by transforming that liability into an asset."
"In the coming year, our company is focusing its energy on developing and bringing to the market our seed treatment technology as well as our abiotic stress technologies."
MACIG 2025 - Mining in Africa Country Investment Guide
It is said that mining is a patient industry. Current demand projections are not. Demand for minerals deemed ‘critical’ is set to increase almost fourfold by 2030, according to the UN. Demand for nickel, cobalt and lithium is predicted to double, triple and rise ten-fold, respectively, between 2022 and 2050. The world will need to mine more copper between 2018 and 2050 than it has mined throughout history. 2050 is also the deadline to curb emissions before reaching a point of ‘no return.’ The pace of mineral demand and the consequences of not meeting it force the industry to act fast and take more risks. Mining cannot afford to be a patient industry anymore. The scramble for supply drives miners back to geological credentials, and therefore to places like the African Central Copperbelt.
