The Strategic Location:
Casablanca, Morocco
Casablanca, the largest city with a population of
over 3 million is situated in western Morocco, facing
Atlantic Ocean coast The name “Casablanca” is of
Portuguese origin that means “White House”. It is
one of the largest and most important city in Africa,
both economically and demographically.

Its strategic location has made it Morocco’s largest

port and the country’s economic capital. Casablanca,
Morocco has been called the gateway to North
Africa. Morocco is endowed with numerous
exploitable resources. With approximately 33,000
square miles (85,000 square km) of arable land (one-
seventh of which can be irrigated) and its generally
temperate Mediterranean climate, Morocco’s
agricultural potential is matched by few
other Arab or African countries. It is one of the few
Arab countries that has the potential to achieve self-
sufficiency in food production. In a normal year
Morocco produces two-thirds of the grains (chiefly
wheat, barley, and corn [maize]) needed for
domestic consumption. The country exports citrus
fruits and early vegetables to the European market;
its wine industry is developed, and production of
commercial crops (cotton, sugarcane, sugar
beets, and sunflowers) is expanding.

 Testimonials
Krisda Monthienvichienchai
President
Mitrphol Group, Thailand

“I would like to thank Carbo Solutions International for inviting me to be a keynote speaker at July 2017
Conference, this Seminar have many booths, was well informative and updated technology for the sugar industry.
I’m glad I was a part of this event.”

Craig Parker
Development Manager (Technical)
British Sugar, United Kingdom
“This was the first conference I have attended, organised by Carbo Solutions, as well as being the first conference I have attended focused
purely on the cane industry. I was looking forward to hearing about the challenges faced by individual businesses and countries, as well as
getting some insight into technical challenges faced and overcome. I felt the blend of papers presented helped me gain a great insight
into the wider sugar cane business in the regions represented and was impressed by some of the technical solutions presented to improve
the operations of mills and refineries. I felt the papers presented by the suppliers nicely complimented the wider agenda and will have
given some thought-provoking opportunities for the gathered attendees. A conference is much more than just the papers presented. I
think Carbo Solutions provide a great environment with their choice of hotel and its excellent conferencing facilities and of course
bringing together the representatives from the various businesses and institutions. The program, although busy, did provide ample
opportunity to catch up with old friends and of course make new ones, as well as being able follow up on topics covered by the papers
presented. Overall a very useful few days and well worth the 19,000km round trip to attend.”

Dr. Klanarong Sriroth

Director / Head of Innovation and Research Development Institute
Mitrphol Group, Thailand

"The Carbo Solutions International’s 2018 sugar conference held in Bangkok, provided a great opportunity to listen to updates from large regio
nal sugar producers, including Thailand, Pakistan, and others. The conference provided had numerous presentations demonstrating cutting
edge technology in both the sugar industry and ethanol industry that will enhance efficiencies and reduce the industries environmental
impact. By bringing together global experts and regional industry representatives, Carbo provided an invaluable networking opportunity to
develop new collaborations among regional companies facing similar problems."
