Competitiveness and Benchmarking in the World Sugar Industry

چکیده
I am particularly pleased to be able to join you all today at your 72nd Annual Congress, for both personal and professional reasons. The personal reason is that, although I worked for six years as a University lecturer not that far to the North of here, in Zambia and Congo (the former Zaire), this is my first visit to Durban, a city that I have heard so much about. The professional reason is that this is undoubtedly one of the two or three premier events in the world sugar technology calendar, and I am very flattered to be invited to speak today. I was unable to attend on the last occasion that I was invited, but am looking forward to hearing more about your industry's pioneering work on the use of cane diffusers, and to see some cane farms 'in the flesh', rather than having to rely on photos and films.
