With the opening just around the corner, VICTAM Asia 2026 and Health & Nutrition Asia 2026 are preparing to welcome industry professionals from across the region to one of Asia’s most comprehensive platforms for the animal feed, grain and animal health sectors.

The co located exhibitions will take place from 10 to 12 March 2026 at BITEC in Bangkok, bringing together technology providers, nutrition specialists, feed producers and industry leaders under one roof.

The events arrive at an important moment for the sector as producers across Asia work to improve efficiency, strengthen biosecurity and adopt more sustainable production practices. By connecting innovation, expertise and business opportunities, the exhibitions create a strong meeting point for companies looking to explore new technologies and build lasting partnerships within the regional food production and supply chain.

VICTAM Asia is globally recognised for its focus on feed, flour and grain processing technologies. When combined with Health & Nutrition Asia’s expertise in animal nutrition and health solutions, the platform offers visitors the chance to explore the full value chain in a single visit. From feed ingredients and animal health products to advanced production technologies, the exhibitions present a complete overview of solutions supporting modern livestock production.

Health & Nutrition Asia 2026 returns to Bangkok as a leading gathering for innovation in animal nutrition and health. The exhibition is expected to host more than 300 international exhibitors and attract over 9,000 industry professionals from across Asia. Visitors will gain direct access to global suppliers, new technologies and practical solutions designed to improve productivity and performance across poultry, swine, aquaculture, cattle and dairy sectors.

Ms. Natasha Hall, Senior Project Manager, VIV Worldwide, said,“Health & Nutrition Asia is designed to create meaningful industry connections by bringing together experts, solution providers, and decision-makers in one focused environment. The event enables open dialogue, cross-border collaboration, and knowledge exchange that help businesses respond faster to market changes and unlock new opportunities across Asia’s rapidly evolving animal protein sector.”

VICTAM Asia 2026 will also feature strong participation from international suppliers and key markets across Southeast Asia. With more than 300 exhibitors expected, the event continues to serve as a dedicated platform for feed and grain processing technologies.

As Sebas van den Ende, General Manager of VICTAM added, "This year’s event once again brings the animal feed industry across Asia together. At Victam, our mission is not just to unite the industry, but to drive real progress. With 300 exhibitors, themed exhibition days, and targeted trade missions from across Asia, we connect visitors directly with the suppliers that truly matter. Quality remains at the heart of Victam. In content, connections, and sustainable business outcomes.”

Alongside VICTAM, GRAPAS Asia 2026 will focus on grain handling, rice milling and flour processing, strengthening the region’s grain value chain. As the grain and feed sectors become increasingly interconnected, the event offers a dedicated space for suppliers and decision makers to engage with the latest technologies and solutions.

As Yvonne Kaal, Event Manager of VICTAM & GRAPAS Asia, said, “GRAPAS Asia has become a strategic pillar within our international platform. As grain and rice processing continue to professionalise across Southeast Asia, the industry requires a clearly defined and specialised meeting place. With GRAPAS Asia 2026, we are reinforcing that position and providing focused visibility for suppliers and decision-makers shaping the region’s grain sector.”

The Inhouse Farming Feed and Food Show 2026 is gathering pace as exhibitor registration opens ahead of its return to EuroTier 2026 in Hanover, Germany.

Taking place from 10 to 13 November 2026, the show will once again form part of EuroTier, recognised globally as the leading exhibition for professional animal farming and livestock management. Organised by DLG, the event continues to strengthen its position as a central meeting point for forward thinking businesses shaping the future of agriculture and food production.

Interest is already building across the sector. Companies working in vertical farming, controlled environment agriculture, alternative protein development, aquaculture, fermentation and smart farming technologies have confirmed their participation. The show provides a practical link between agricultural production and modern food systems, bringing together expertise, innovation and commercial opportunity under one roof.

Running alongside EuroTier, the platform also complements EnergyDecentral, which focuses on decentralised energy solutions. Together, the exhibitions explore how farming, food production and energy systems can connect more efficiently. A strong emphasis will be placed on circular thinking, with many exhibitors presenting concepts that reuse side streams to create additional raw materials. The aim is to develop closed loop systems that are cost effective and resource conscious across the entire value chain.

The 2026 edition will highlight technologies ranging from insect farming and aquaculture systems to bioreactors for fungi and microalgae. Advances in cellular agriculture and innovative inhouse farming methods will also feature prominently. As global demand for reliable and sustainable protein sources grows, organisers expect visitor numbers from overseas to rise further.

Marcus Vagt, Head of Energy, Inhouse Farming and New Foods, DLG, said, “The momentum in the market is enormous. More and more companies are recognizing that inhouse farming is a key component of the food systems of the future. It supports the DLG’s new guiding principle of ‘sustainable productivity growth’, which unites growth and resource conservation. At the same time, inhouse farming enables high product safety because plants and organisms grow in closed, controlled environments – free from climate fluctuations and external influences. This ensures reliable feed and food safety standards."

“Our exhibitors benefit from a highly qualified professional audience, international visibility and an environment that actively promotes innovation. We are delighted with the strong interest already at the start of the registration phase,” Vagt adds.

Following the Hanover exhibition, the Inhouse Farming Feed and Food Convention will take place in Hamburg on 21 and 22 April 2027, continuing the conversation around the future of food and farming.

Vietstock Expo & Forum 2026, which is scheduled to take place from 21 to 23 October 2026 at the Saigon Exhibition & Convention Center (SECC) in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, is set to be a major moment for the livestock and aquaculture sectors in Asia.

Over the years, Vietstock has established itself as Vietnam’s leading international exhibition for the feed, livestock, aquaculture and meat industry, and the 2026 edition is expected to reinforce its reputation as a trusted meeting place for professionals from across Southeast Asia and beyond.

Building on the momentum of previous editions, Vietstock 2026 is expected to be one of the largest events in its history. Organisers are projecting around 300 international and local exhibitors and approximately 13,000 trade visitors and professional buyers over the three day show. This scale reflects the growing importance of the region within global food and agriculture systems, as well as the demand for platforms that connect businesses across the entire farm to fork value chain. From feed manufacturers and livestock producers to meat processors and agricultural technology providers, the event offers space for meaningful exchange and collaboration.

A central feature of Vietstock 2026 will be its broad showcase of products, solutions and technologies shaping the future of livestock and related industries. Alongside the exhibition floor, the programme will include industry conferences and technical seminars, as well as specialist forums such as the Antimicrobial Resistance Forum. These sessions are designed to encourage discussion around current challenges and future opportunities, while networking activities such as meet ups and match making programmes will help participants turn ideas into partnerships.

Beyond the main exhibition, 2026 will also see related events delivered under the wider livestock and aquaculture series. According to announcements from Informa Markets, the Aquaculture Vietnam & VietShrimp Asia 2026 event will take place earlier in the year in March at the same SECC venue. Additional livestock and aquaculture exhibitions are also scheduled throughout 2026 in Taiwan and the Philippines, further strengthening regional connections.

Together, these events highlight Vietstock’s growing role in bringing the livestock and aquaculture community together and showcasing the trends, solutions and business opportunities shaping agriculture across Asia in 2026.

VIV Europe 2026 clearly demonstrates strong market confidence.

VIV Europe 2026 is set to be a landmark event as it celebrates its 25th Edition and reinforces its position as one of the most influential agrifood exhibitions in the world.

Organised by Royal Dutch Jaarbeurs and VNU Europe, the 2026 edition not only honours VIV Europe’s rich legacy but also signals a forward looking strategy. The organisers have confirmed that from 2028 onwards, VIV Europe will move to a two year cycle, with the next edition scheduled for June 2028. This shift aims to provide greater continuity, consistency and long term value for exhibitors and visitors alike.

Jeroen van Hooff, President and CEO of Royal Dutch Jaarbeurs and VNU, said, “VIV Europe is evolving with the strength, consistency and international depth that the industry has been asking for. Europe needs a reliable and forward-looking agrifood platform to connect strategy, technology and business. VIV Europe 2026 will meet that need and the new two-year rhythm from this year on will provide in the epicenter of Europe, the continuity and momentum that our exhibitors, partners and global community deserve.”

The anniversary edition will welcome around 600 exhibitors showcasing the latest innovations, technologies and machinery across the agrifood value chain.
