In a year marked by fragmented trade, shifting alliances and evolving climate policy, Asia’s role in the global commodities system is under renewed focus. From critical minerals and agricultural exports to LNG, oil and green fuels, the region sits at the centre of intensifying competition over resources, market access and investment.
As trade flows are re-routed and sustainability-linked regulations—from CBAM to carbon disclosure rules—continue to develop, Asian exporters, traders and policymakers must navigate a shifting landscape of compliance, incentives and geopolitical complexity.
Now in its 6th year, the Financial Times Commodities Asia Summit returns to the trading hub of Singapore to bring together 250+ senior executives, investors and officials from across the commodity value chain. Over two days of agenda-setting conversation, the summit will explore how Asia is managing volatility, adapting to global trade realignment and advancing its role in the energy and materials transition.
