The Asia-Pacific Region, including China and India, is home to almost 60% of the global population. Production of key food staples – providing the vital proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins for human sustenance – is crucial, not only for local consumption but also for export to developed nations. Growing middle classes are changing their food preferences, resulting in a higher demand for quality fruits and vegetables.

Agspec’s vision is to improve the well being of the region’s food producers and residents by bringing advances in agricultural sciences and improved inputs to agricultural production.
