Angelo Scaravonati, President of Rinnova Green Energy and partner of Bioenergy Expo, the Exhibition dedicated to energy from renewable sources in agriculture, analyses the wood bio-mass value chain to understand the most suitable approach by agricultural companies. From poplars grown in "Medium Rotation Forestry" to thermal and electrical energy, there is without doubt an economic advantage, not the least in view of finance for rural development plans (up to 40% of expenses sustained) and from the State for the production of green energy: 280 euro per megawatt generated. Bioenergy Expo will present a dynamic area to illustrate the wood-energy value chain.

The Director of the "haute école" in Agro-Food Economics at Piacenza Cattolica University, Renato Pieri, also curator since 1994 of the annual milk market report, explains to VeronaFiere the complicated times for agriculture on an international scale. Inasmuch, he announces the need to reform the Common Agricultural Policy to defend not only production but also the income of entrepreneurs; he discusses milk quotas and the need to sign inter-professional price agreements ("to safeguard small producers"). Bio-energy? "Strategic when the price of petroleum exceeds 70 dollars/barrel." Will prices for cereals recover? "In every likelihood but the price indicate will move upwards when prices of dairt-cheese, meat and petroleum products increase."
