More than 14,000 seed samples from 21 genebanks were deposited in the Svalbard Global Seed Vault last month
These samples included essential varieties of sorghum and pearl millet from Sudan’s crop genebank; a collection of velvet beans from Malawi; and critical food crops from a Philippine gene bank that is being destroyed by typhoons and fires. Brazil, the host of this year’s global climate negotiations, also deposited a major collection of more than 3,000 varieties of rice, beans and maize.
Following the deposit ceremony, the first-ever Svalbard International Dialogue brought together high-level government officials, crop experts and global thought leaders to discuss the challenge of safeguarding crop diversity amid increasing environmental pressures and escalating global conflicts.
Sudan made its sixth deposit of seed samples of 15 species, including many varieties of sorghum, a crop that is deeply tied to Sudanese cultural heritage, and is also a lifeline for food security in the country. With the help of the Emergency Reserve for Genebanks, hundreds of seed samples that were impacted during the civil war, were transported to NordGen to be sorted catalogued, packed and documented as part of the Sudanese deposit. These were then transported to the Svalbard Global Seed Vault.
After several seed stocks were destroyed by natural extreme events like typhoons and fires, partners from the Philippines with support from the BOLD Project, visited Svalbard to deposit seeds of eggplant, rice bean, lima bean and sorghum.
Being another BOLD partner, Malawi deposited velvet beans, a crop that enables farmers to boost production and keep their soils healthy, while also offering important medicinal benefits. Velvet beans are a nitrogen-fixing legume that when used as a fertiliser can more than double maize yields. The species, which is also used in traditional medicine, boasts high levels of levodopa, a compound used to treat the symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
“This moment is a powerful reminder that securing our food future requires collective action,” said Stefan Schmitz, executive director of the Crop Trust. “Through our partnerships, including the BOLD project, we’ve worked with institutions around the world to safeguard vital crop diversity.” He further highlighted how the deposited seeds represented not only biodiversity, but also the knowledge, culture and resilience of the communities that steward them. “We must find a way to protect this crop diversity for generations to come,” Schmitz added.
BetaTrace has been built by combing betaine and organic trace minerals. (Image source: Adobe Stock)
BetaTrace is a notable source of organic zinc, copper, manganese and iron designed for every animal species
It was introduced in early November last year and is pending a patent. Being a supporter of animal well being and performance, BetaTrace aims to identify and address the issues concerning modern livestock farming. It performs a variety of useful functions which includes boosting gut integrity, improving immunity, reducing oxidative stress and enhancing energy metabolism. Moreover, being water soluble, it finds ideal usage in vitamin-mineral premixes, compound feeds, or feed supplements.
BetaTrace has been built by combing betaine and organic trace minerals, in turn providing improved absorption compared to conventional inorganic trace mineral sources such as sulfates. While trace minerals serve as essential components or cofactors of numerous enzymes, vitamins, and hormones, betaine on the other hand, provides excellent methyl group donor capability that is particularly needed in protein and lipid metabolism.
“We worked hard to bring this next generation of trace minerals to life,” said Dr Susanne Rothstein, product manager Organic Minerals at Biochem. “We believe the two-in-one BetaTrace will greatly benefit high yielding and young animals, which often have higher metabolic requirements. The perfect match of binding partner and trace mineral in BetaTrace intensively supports performance and health.”

VIV Asia 2025, co-located with Meat Pro Asia and Horti Agri Next (HAN) Asia, will serve as a pivotal gathering for the global animal protein industry
This landmark event will spotlight key discussions on animal health, sustainable food production, and alternative proteins, with industry leaders sharing insights on the latest advancements in poultry, swine, aquaculture, dairy, and agriculture. From disease prevention to next-gen smart farming, VIV Asia 2025 will drive conversations that aim to positively impact the future of food production. To offer a glimpse of what’s ahead, VIV Asia has connected with a number of their association partners to highlight some of the most pressing industry topics.
Animal health remains a top priority across all sectors. With African Swine Fever (ASF) and Avian Influenza (AI) posing ongoing threats, experts emphasise the need for robust biosecurity measures and alternative health solutions.
Dr Metta Makhanon, president of the Thai Swine Veterinary Association (TSVA), highlights the importance of biosecurity protocols and alternatives to antibiotics to combat antimicrobial resistance. “This is dependent on how the veterinarian and producer can improve their biosecurity and find a way to use antimicrobialas well as alternatives to antimicrobial effectively. Each country do not have the same resolve and result. In Thailand, many farms succeed in this practice but still there are some farms that do not, so that remains a challenge in the industry,” she says.
Similarly, Dr Surapat Chandaeng, vice president of the Animal Health Business Development, adds, “Pig farmers still face ASF due to the lack of effective vaccines and at the same time, shrimps face complicated diseases.” He also underscores AI risks in poultry farming due to migratory birds and therefore calls for enhanced monitoring and vaccination strategies.
Technology is revolutionising farm management, with artificial intelligence (AI), automation, and precision agriculture becoming key tools for optimising productivity. AI-powered monitoring systems in poultry and swine farming are improving disease detection, feed efficiency, and environmental control.
For aquaculture, Fabrizio Caruso, Aquaculture technical specialist at Vetagro highlights the role of advanced feed additives and molecular research in improving fish and shrimp health. He also hopes to share more at the Aquatic Conference slated for 11 March, one day before the official opening of VIV Asia 2025, and says, “During my talk, I’ll be exploring new ways to support the aquaculture farmers in their daily challenges by the use of new molecules to incorporate in the everyday feed, therefore attendees can expect innovation and hands-on data from our worldwide experiences.”
Continuing the conversation on the aquatic sector, Clara Trullàs, product manager - Aquaculture at Tanin Sevnica and also a resource speaker at the Aquatic Conference, shares, “It is always a pleasure for us to attend VIV Asia and be present in the Aquatic Conference. I think it is an optimal way to be updated regarding the issues the aquaculture industry is facing, the challenges that are coming, and all the innovations that are currently available. I feel like the aquaculture industry always has an open door for new solutions and allows us to be creative and to always go further.”
The shift towards sustainability is reshaping consumer preferences and production strategies. As the demand for alternative proteins grows, plant-based meat and other protein substitutes are gaining traction.
Francine Sayoc, executive director of The Asia and Pacific Seed Association (APSA), notes that new breeding technologies, including genome editing, are enhancing crop resilience, improving nutrition, and reducing environmental impact. Sustainable feed ingredients and innovative protein sources are also crucial in reducing the carbon footprint of animal agriculture.
Stating how partnership and effective policies are crucial to responding to industry challenges, Sayoc remarks, “Our challenge as an industry is to demonstrate to policymakers and regulators why we need their collaboration and support in creating a policy environment that is consistent, predictable, and science-based. We also need to partner up with the value chain in order to put seed more centrally in food security and sustainability efforts.”
To discover more about this key topic, “Attendees at HAN Asia 2025 can expect a lively conversation between the seed sector, farmers, food processing, retail, and other actors in the food value chain. We will show the interconnectedness from seed to food, and find synergies towards achieving more resilient food systems,” Sayoc adds.
With increasing emphasis on international trade, the livestock industry must align with global safety and quality standards. Thailand’s swine sector is pushing for compliance with GMP, GAP, GDP, and HACCP to enhance export potential.
As per Dr Makhanon, “A key trend to watch out for in the swine sector is how to process the compartment of swine production and processing for the international trade. Because we produce more than we use, more than our demand. So we have oversupply. Then we would like to be the export country. So the international standards as GMP, GAP, GDP, HACCP have to be in practice from farm to the processing and we hope that it will be successful soon.”
She also stresses that farmers and producers must adapt to these standards to remain competitive in the global market. Standardization efforts across all sectors will be crucial in ensuring product safety, sustainability, and profitability.
As the livestock, aquaculture, dairy, and agriculture industries evolve, VIV Asia 2025 stands as a beacon of innovation and progress. This is where pioneering ideas meet practical solutions, where global experts converge to exchange knowledge, and where businesses gain the insights they need to thrive in an ever-changing landscape.
From groundbreaking research to hands-on applications, attendees will learn directly from industry leaders, discover new technologies, and network with peers who together are driving the agrifood sector forward. Whether you’re a farmer, researcher, policymaker, or an agribusiness professional, VIV Asia 2025 is the most comprehensive platform to be equipped and empowered, enabling all to build agility and efficiently respond to the industry challenges.

Gridtractor, Monarch Tractor, and Borg Warner have achieved a significant milestone by successfully demonstrating Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) capabilities utilising a Monarch MK-V tractor, a Borg Warner 60 kW DC fast charger, and Gridtractor’s cloud-based charge management system employing the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP)
Krone and Lemken, through a joint project, have launched a design concept – Combined Powers – which is an autonomous ‘process unit’ consisting of a drive unit and various implements
After passing trials in cultivating, ploughing, sowing, mowing, tedding and raking last year, the concept will be integrated in the well-proven forage harvesting and tillage systems of the two companies.
Using a diesel-electric drive that generates up to 170kW (230hp), the drive unit is designed to meet the power input requirements of the implements used in the processes above. The drive power is transferred electrically to the wheels and the pto and from there to the implement which couples to a three-point linkage. The drive unit boasts multiple and extensive sensor systems which monitor the immediate surroundings and the implement attached, ensuring safe operation and optimum results as the primary objectives. Operators control and monitor the combination from a mobile device, transmitting jobs and job reports via a communication module and the agrirouter, the established data exchange hub.
The specialty of the process unit is that it is controlled by the implement and not vice versa. This detail was considered imperative for achieving optimum results. The implement and the drive unit act as one integrated smart system. Based on the long experience in the application of ISOBUS and TIM on Krone and Lemken machines, the drive unit and implement communicate and interact, sharing literally all types of data.
The Combined Powers design concept also brings further benefits, because it was also developed to counter the increasing shortage of skilled labour in agriculture. Also, it will free farmers from spending those long days in the field. Instead, they will become system operators who merely monitor the process unit which delivers a consistently accurate quality of work. Thanks to its enormous versatility, the unit is designed for year-round work and a long service life. Intensive trialling in all types of conditions and seeking feedback from farmers and contractors will continue this year.
