VIV Health and Nutrition Asia 2026 concluded on a strong note in Bangkok, bringing together professionals from across the animal feed and health sector for three engaging days.

Held from 10 to 12 March at BITEC, the event ran alongside VICTAM Asia, GRAPAS Asia, and Horti and Agri Asia, creating a shared platform that welcomed 10,639 visitors from 73 countries. This marked a notable rise in attendance compared to the previous edition and reflected growing interest across the region.

The exhibition space was equally impressive, with 300 exhibitors spread across more than 17,000 square metres. The event attracted a high number of senior decision makers, with VIV Health and Nutrition Asia alone welcoming 125 industry leaders, reinforcing its role as a focused and influential meeting point for the sector.

The co-location of four specialised events played a key role in the success of the show. Each exhibition brought its own audience while allowing visitors to explore a wider network of ideas and solutions. From animal nutrition and feed production to grain processing and agri technology, the event created a natural flow of conversation across different areas of the supply chain.

International participation added further depth, with strong representation from countries such as Japan and South Korea. The presence of global organisations and academic institutions also enriched the discussions. Experts addressed key industry concerns including African Swine Fever, alternative proteins, digital farming, and antimicrobial resistance, offering practical insights for professionals working in the field.

The conference programme stood out as a major highlight. Built around sustainability and innovation, it featured 73 speakers across more than 34 sessions. Topics covered poultry, aquaculture, cattle, and swine, with a clear focus on real world challenges and solutions. Sessions on laboratory practices, sustainable shrimp farming, and nutrition strategies in aquaculture drew strong interest, reflecting the industry’s shift towards more responsible and efficient practices.

Natasha Hall, Vice President of VIV Worldwide, said, “This edition marks a defining moment — one that reflects not only the growth of this platform, but the momentum of an entire industry. The dedicated national pavilions from Japan and South Korea, two of Asia’s most dynamic and innovative markets, speak volumes about the rising international confidence in what this event represents. Their presence underscores a shared belief that collaboration across borders is essential to shaping the future of the sector, and we look forward to the ideas, connections, and opportunities their participation brings.”

Jeroen van Hooff, CEO & President of Royal Dutch Jaarbeurs and VNU Group, added, “These days were not just about sitting and waiting, rather, they were about walking the floor, having the conversations that had been in the pipeline for months, finding the solutions that brought attendees here, or discovering ones they never anticipated.”

He adds, “To the exhibitors who placed their trust in VIV Health & Nutrition Asia: the investment of time, budget, and team did not go unnoticed. The commitment was to deliver a qualified audience, a well-organized event, and the best possible conditions for business to happen. To the visitors who made the show what it was: their decisions, the feed purchased, the technology adopted, the partnerships formed, are what shape the entire animal protein value chain. Three days well spent, and we remain dedicated to evolving our show format alongside the needs of our community. We look forward to building on what we have created here in the editions ahead.”

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.
