BAADER is taking part in VIV Asia 2025 that is taking place from 12-14 March in Bangkok this year

Under the motto 'Value Every Gram,' BAADER will showcase its latest solutions at VIV Asia 2025, emphasising the protection and maximisation of meat value throughout the processing cycle. Additionally, advanced software tools assist processors in planning production for each bird and ensuring every gram of meat is safeguarded and efficiently harvested. During the show, visitors can attend live demonstrations and engage with BAADER's local network, global product managers, and processing experts.

"The future of poultry processing lies in intelligent tools, seamlessly integrated into equipment and performance monitoring systems," said Marcel Franz, managing director of BAADER Asia. "With advanced software solutions that not only capture data but also identify root causes, decision-making becomes faster and more precise. We're excited to showcase BAADER's latest innovations at VIV Asia this year."

Some of the featured equipment include:  

- ProFlex Cut-Up System: Real value-adding begins after distribution where product differentiation takes shape through specialised cuts, lean portions, and convenient food options tailored to diverse customer preferences. 

- Breast Cap Deboner 660A: The breast caps produced on the exhibited cut-up system will be processed on the Breast Cap Deboner 660A capable of producing a variety of products. The intelligent cap measuring tool allows for precise tool adjustments. 

- AI-Based Rest Meat Detection: Every gram of meat not recovered from the fillet represents a missed profit opportunity. To address this, BAADER has developed a vision camera solution that monitors the meat left on the carcass after deboning and alerts the processor about excess waste production. 

- Refiner Technology: After minimising the meat left on the carcass, processors can further utilise any remaining meat by processing the carcasses with a BAADER Refiner. This gentle method of separating usable meat from hard components allows processors to repurpose the leftover meat into high-value products such as nuggets or sausages.

AGRA, in partnership with the International Fertiliser Development Center (IFDC) and the Ministry of Agriculture, hosted Mali’s first-ever event specifically dedicated to soils, in celebration of World Soil Day

The event themed: ‘Nourish the Earth, Secure the Future’ focused on preserving the health of arid and semi-arid soils, and marked the beginning of a dedicated national focus on soil health in Mali. It highlighted critical issues of soil degradation and the need to implement collaborative and innovative solutions to restore soil health, safeguard agricultural productivity, and combat food insecurity.

Comprising expert panels and roundtable discussions, the event served as a platform to address soil health and its implications for agricultural transformation, in turn producing actionable recommendations. These included establishing a platform for dialogue, creating synergies of action, updating Mali’s soil mapping, developing targeted policies, and investing in action research on soils.

In his address, the Minister of Agriculture emphasised that sustainable soil management is not only an environmental necessity but also a socio-economic and humanitarian imperative. During the forum, AGRA and IFDC also reaffirmed their commitment to fostering innovation, capacity-building, and partnerships that prioritise soil health.
