Greetings!

Dear Delegate,

Alliance One International, on behalf of CORESTA, is delighted to host the 2025 CORESTA Agro-Phyto Conference, which will be held in Surabaya, Indonesia, from September 28th to October 2nd.

We are dedicated to providing an excellent event that fosters scientific discussion and offers a wonderful introduction to and experience in Asia. Surabaya is a vibrant city where tradition and youth come together in harmony, showcasing the best of Asia through its diverse and dynamic population.

Asia was chosen as the host continent for this conference due to the region's significant role in tobacco cultivation, as well as to support the many young researchers from this part of the world who are committed to advancing tobacco science. We are confident that participants from other regions will be warmly welcomed and will enjoy the generous hospitality that Asia is known for.

We know you have been working diligently to generate new scientific knowledge since our last meeting at the CORESTA Congress in October 2024. Now, the time has come for us to reunite, share insights, and celebrate the progress made. This is a unique opportunity for the scientific community to discuss the latest advances and challenges facing this important and complex crop.

Both CORESTA and Alliance One International are excited to welcome you to Surabaya for the 2025 Agro-Phyto Conference. We look forward to seeing you soon!
