At the heart of commercial success for everyone in the audience is the omega-3 consumer, and understanding the consumer’s buying habits is key. Our Understanding Consumers session looks at the consumer in the two largest economies in the world, the US and China, as well as the rapidly growing market of India, with the latest data on consumer behaviors and trends in these three important markets.
