SUMMARY:Rabobank Launches Food Loss Challenge Asia for Start-Ups
DESCRIPTION:Rabobank\, a leading global bank in food & agri and sustainability\, is proud to announce the launch of the Food Loss Challenge Asia. Debuting in Asia\, the open innovation Challenge will see disruptive start-ups present their ag-tech solutions to reduce food loss to a platform of leading Food & Agri industry leaders\, investors and other start-ups.\nThe Challenge aims to address the global problem of food loss. Every year\, 1.3 billion tons of food is lost worldwide whilst world population is expected to increase by 2 billion people to over 9 billion people. To meet the increased demand for food\, global food production will have to increase by at least 60%\, while at the same time arable land and natural resources are nearing their limits. To address this fundamental concern\, Rabobank is committed to contribute to one of the most pressing issues identified by the UN Sustainable Development Goals to halve food loss by 2030. Against this backdrop\, Rabobank Asia is launching the Food Loss Challenge Asia\, an initiative to facilitate constructive dialogue between solutions providers\, F&A corporates and small holder farmers. \n“As the leading global  bank in food & agri and sustainability\, Rabobank recognizes its responsibility to help address the world’s food challenges of increased demand for food\, changing consumer preferences and the need for sustainable food production \,” says Rabobank Asia CEO Diane Boogaard. “This is why we kick-start the Food Loss Challenge Asia with our partners. One of our priorities is to leverage on our food & agri knowledge and expertise\, and advise our clients to adopt a more sustainable food production. This will enable a more efficient use of raw materials and will improve the stability of food supply and efficiency of the food value chain.” \n“Most food loss happens on the journey between the farm and the supermarket shelf\,” explains Mark van Binsbergen\, CEO Rabobank Singapore and Innovation Lead for Rabobank in Asia.  “Hence we are looking for innovative ag-tech solutions mainly focusing on the pre-consumption phase. Solutions could be in the area of improving agricultural production and farm management\, quality control\, market access\, logistics\,  packaging & preservation and processing\,” says Mark. \n \nRabobank Foundation Head of Innovations Albert Boogaard adds\, “Especially at the farmer’s level\, we see huge opportunity for improvement. While productivity is increasing\, the supporting post-harvest infrastructure has not kept the pace and a substantial part of produce is lost even before the harvest takes place.  Since the vast majority of farmers in Asia are smallholders we are excited to be involved in this challenge as the impact for our target group can be huge\,” says Albert. \n“For Rabobank it is important to help spur innovative and technology solutions that will help address the world’s food challenges. The Challenge provides an exciting platform for start-ups to access mentorship and connections to grow their businesses. We look forward to the applications!\,” concludes Diane Boogaard. \nApplications for Rabobank Food Loss Challenge Asia are now open. Start-ups that are both product-ready and business-ready are encouraged to apply before Wednesday\, 19 September 2018\, 23:59 hours Singapore time. The Top-20 shortlisted will be invited to attend the Pitch Day in Singapore on 26 October 2018. The Top-5 Finalists will be invited to the Finale in Singapore at Rabobank Asia’s Food & Agribusiness Advisory Board meeting\, which is Rabobank Asia’s premier event bringing together C-suite level decisions makers of leading food and agribusiness companies. \nThe Challenge is supported by Rabobank Foundation and Partners of Rabobank who all want to contribute to Rabobank’s mission of Growing a Better World Together. They will act as judges of the Challenge and will share insight or tips to help selected start-ups scale their impact: \n\nArcher Daniels Midland Company\, one of the world’s largest agricultural processors and food ingredient providers\, with approximately 31\,000 employees serving customers in more than 170 countries;\nCharoen Pokphand Group\, a globally integrated agro-industrial and food business that strives to be the “Kitchen of the World” and deliver high-quality products for 4 billion consumers;\nUPL Ltd.\, a leading company with integrated technology based solutions for crop protection\, seeds & post-harvest solutions\, is engaged with large & small holding farmers to increase both\, productivity and farm income.

More than ever before\, it is important to guarantee sustainability at every level of the supply chain\, for large and small producers. Hence the need for a neutral forum were key palm oil stakeholders can share their perspectives and discuss on best practises\, actions and policies to support smallholders in raising their certifications standards. \n \nAims:\n \n\nTo provide a multi-stakeholder dialogue platform which includes policy makers\, government agencies\, private sector and local community together to join forces to promote sustainable production and trade of palm oil. The platform creates a long-term space where the stakeholders can align and develop a joint concrete action plan necessary to improve the commodity sector towards a sustainable supply chain of palm oil.\n\n  \n\nTo share success stories that have led to better sustainability in the palm oil industry (responsible financing\, best industry practices and initiatives by various stakeholders).\n\n  \n\nTo discuss complexs inter-connected issues\, enhance co-ordination and build consensus among experts\, NGOs\, governments\, associations and private sector (in the countries where palm oil is produced and in the markets where it is consumed).\n\n \nWhat to expect?\n \nKeynote Address\nH.E.

The Malaysian Government has also given priority in this area with its “National Biomass Strategy 2020” initiative launched in 2011. With Malaysia’s huge potential in the biomass sector\, the German experience can serve as an excellent example and offer smart partnership opportunities. \nThe EU-Biomass & Biogas Symposium and Business Matching session will assist European SMEs in the field of biomass and biogas technologies in exploring and entering the Malaysian market. European companies will also be given presentation slots at the Symposium.

SUMMARY:EuroCham Financial Markets Outlook 2019
DESCRIPTION:EuroCham in collaboration with Rabobank cordially invites you to join Financial Markets experts\, Michael Every and Jan Lambregts giving their valuable insights and outlook for 2019: \n\nFinancial Markets Outlook 2019: “Puzzling Times\, cubed” by\n\nRabobank’s Global Head of Financial Markets Research Jan Lambregts and Senior Asia-Pacific Strategist Michael Every. \nAs Nils Bohr once said\, “Prediction is very difficult\, especially if it’s about the future.” However\, ten years into this global recovery there is more uncertainty about what the next year holds than for decades.  Is the US economy set to boom on tax cuts or bust as the Fed keeps hiking? Can Europe survive the sunset of QE\, and what will Brexit look like? And is China a source of stability or instability? \nMoreover\, can the global economy survive a trade war? And can global institutions survive the US’ new stance? The answers are like a puzzle. \nAbout the Speakers\nJan Lambregts\, Global Head of Financial Markets Research\, Rabobank\nBased in London\, Jan Lambregts oversees a worldwide team of analysts and strategists who cover macro\, foreign exchange\, fixed income\, credit and agri commodities for key clients. Before his move to London in 2009 to head up the global Financial Markets Research team\, Jan lived and worked in Singapore and Hong Kong for seven years\, covering macro\, FX and rates strategy for Rabobank clients\, with a particular focus on Japan and China.
