On March 13-15th in Bangkok, Thailand, the Bangkok International Trade and
Exhibition Centre (BITEC) played host to VIV Asia, the 2019 rendition of the
biannual exhibition and trade show that brings members of the food and feed
industry in their masses from all over the world.
The exhibition was a glorious affair, with hall after hall brimming with companies that specialised in every aspect of the food and feed production industry for aquaculture, poultry, livestock, swine and more. Over 45,000 visitors were confirmed over the three-day span of the event, and dozens of conferences were also held for industry members to attend.
VIV reported a seven percent increase in visits from those outside of Bangkok this year, proving that the event is only becoming more and more international and gaining more of a reputation as one of the best-serving events for the sector. Overseas visitors came from over 120 countries, the top ten visiting markets being reported as China, India, the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Bangladesh, the Republic of Korea, Taiwan and Pakistan.
Compared to the 2017 rendition of the event, a remarkable 1,245 exhibitors were confirmed (an 18% increase) and they covered an extra 30 percent of the floorspace at BITEC.
In my time exploring VIV Asia I discovered a variety of innovations for the aquaculture industry that will no doubt become integral for the future of fish production.
