SPEAKER HIGHLIGHTS

“ Welcome Address

Sustainability, wellness and convenience – these
are the three global trends that formed the key
themes of this year’s conference. They indicate
how we have evolved as a society in our views
on the food industry, how we consume food, and
how our awareness of the impact of our food
consumption has changed.

Ehab AbouOaf Through the Summit, we hope to inspire the
industry to establish uncommon collaborations to

“ Guest-of-Honour Address

We want to write a unique Singapore Food Story
where we work together to overcome our physical
and resource constraints to transform our agri-food
industry into a highly-productive, sustainable and
climate-resilient one.

SFA is committed to growing a vibrant and
forward-looking agri-tech and food ecosystem, in
partnership with research institutions, industry and
consumers. The Summit will be the first of many
further conversations to build a dynamic agri-food
ecosystem in Singapore.

Senior Vice President
Growth, Asia Pacific, “ Consumer Trends that are Shaping
Middle East & Africa
Mondelēz International the Future of Food in Asia

Asia is a very diverse region with different
characteristics across all markets, from population
demographics and religious traditions to the
pace of economic development and technology
adoption.

But as far as diet is concerned, Asia still considers
safety as the primary consideration in comparison
to other issues such as sustainability and health.
However, the definition of safe foods varies for
each country and companies need to be aware
of such intricate details in order to leverage the
value of food safety to build consumer trust and
grow their businesses.

“

“ The Future of Snacks

In the old days, consumer trust was aligned
with just manufacturer credibility and product
reliability. [Now], we believe that consumer trust
also requires intimacy, [which is conveyed] via
product personalisation; and a company purpose
that goes beyond profit and self-interest. [As such,
a company’s purpose should now] be aligned with
a sustainable future, not just because it’s morally
right, but also to build trust with customers.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

There is no one solution that can address the region’s plastic pollution problem. Instead, the issue needs
to be tackled with a multi-faceted approach. While the food and packaging industry continues to play
its part to drive innovation and investment to improve its environmental footprint, all stakeholders need to
work together to implement effective policies and regulations that support our plastics, packaging and solid
waste management systems.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The industry has made significant progress towards the development of healthy foods, but companies
need to be more aware of how they can make better use of technology to create products that satisfy
consumers’ tastes and preferences. They must also work hand-in-hand with consumers and government
bodies to create a supportive environment that encourages the adoption of healthier diets.
