Understand What the Figures Represent
Plant capacities describe the scale of processing infrastructure; they are not actual annual production figures.
Programme targets describe intended future outcomes. Exhibition targets describe planned participation, rather than confirmed attendance.
Together, these figures provide a starting point for assessing the market and identifying where equipment, technology and specialist services may be relevant.
