PIPOC
2017
T he MPOB International Palm Oil
Congress and Exhibition (PIPOC) is a
biennial event organised by the Malaysian
Palm Oil Board (MPOB). PIPOC will once
again be held at the Kuala Lumpur Convention
Centre (KLCC) which offers a stimulating
environment for conferences and exhibitions.
PIPOC 2017 is expected to draw more than
8000 participants and trade visitors
comprising mainly CEOs, directors,
researchers, policy makers, plantation
managers, millers, traders, export personnel
and all those who are involved directly and
indirectly in the palm oil industry, from 50
countries. It will be one of the worlds largest
palm oil technical and trade congregations.
PIPOC has five concurrent conferences to
provide a strategic platform for interaction
and in-depth deliberation of the many facets
of oil palm and the palm oil industry, on
innovations, latest developments, challenges
and the way forward for the industry.
The theme for PIPOC 2017, Treasuring
the Past, Charting the Future, is timely
with the commemoration of 100 years of
commercial planting of oil palm in Malaysia.
The theme reflects an emphasis on the vital
aspects of research and development and
commercialisation in the effort to chart the
way forward for the palm oil industry. The
Congress will provide participants with a
platform to explore opportunities for further
advancements in the technologies related to
the palm oil industry.
AN 1
INVITATION
A trade exhibition with more than 340
exhibition booths will also be held throughout
the Congress to provide opportunities for
delegates to view and discuss current
technologies, state-of-the art equipments
and products related to the oils and fats
industry. The exhibition also provides
networking opportunities for buyers and
sellers.
We value your presence at this Congress
to hear what the industry experts and
researchers have to share about the oil palm
industry technology advancements and their
impact on our businesses and daily lives.
We would also love to hear your thoughts
and opinions at this not-to-be missed event
PIPOC 2017, from 14-16 November at the
Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.
