Chiara Manoli, Regulatory Affairs Manager of ILSA, attended in the capacity of president of the ECOFI (European Consortium of the Organic-Based Fertilizer Industry), the fifth international conference "Fertilizers 2023: Eastern Europe, Baltic States and Balkans”.

It was a two-day event dedicated to discussing the outlook for the market in relation to the changes in the trade flow of fertilizers and raw materials through the region, caused by the EU sanctions against Russian and Belarusian companies and possible alternatives to goods from these areas.

The conference attracted operators and companies from the markets of the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Hungary, Slovenia, Poland, Ukraine, the Baltic countries, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Serbia and Greece. Manoli underlines, “I had the opportunity to present ECOFI's vision for the development of a knowledge-intensive, environmentally sustainable and high-employment European economy. ECOFI works to promote innovation in organic-based fertilization technologies that support sustainable models of agricultural productivity, social cohesion and economic growth".
