Summary:

When matched with Asian mega trends in culture, demographics and economics, BioScience products provide huge potential for exploitation and value creation in the coming years. This potential will be further enhanced by the declining capacity of the world's oil reserves to provide hydrocarbons for fuel and materials, and plants will become more important as bio-factories for basic ingredients to sustain human societies.Successful business models have been developed to harness the potential of BioScience to meet the demands for food, feed and organochemicals based on value creation and value cap
