The eighth international livestock, dairy, meat processing and aquaculture exposition returns to Vietnam, creating plentiful business opportunities
Vietnam is one of the leading investment destinations in Asia and is the main producer of livestock and aquaculture. The Ministry of Agriculture and Agriculture and Rural Development of Vietnam reported that the livestock and related sectors’ exports were worth US$855.4mn and are expected to reach US$1.2bn in the next year.
International stakeholders are interested in expanding their markets throughout Asia, which is why VNU Exhibitions Asia Pacific and Minh Vi Exhibition & Advertisement Services will organise “ILDEX Vietnam 2020,” an international business platform for the livestock and aquaculture industries. This show will be presenting technology and innovation, machinery and IT systems from animal feed to farm processing from 18-20 March 2020 at Saigon Exhibition and Convention Centre, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Exhibition highlights
Kevin Zhao, project manager of ILDEX Vietnam, said, “Lots of new companies will be exhibiting in Vietnam for the first time and are ready to share their latest products and innovations with the Vietnamese buyers, such as Huali, Texha, Brodrene Hartmann etc. We will host 250 leading companies from 30 countries plus seven international pavilions.”
Commenting on the event, Zhao further added, “The exhibition hall will be divided into zones representing four main industrial sectors: animal health; feed ingredients/additives; farm production and meat processing/handling. A diverse mix of displays will bring leading stakeholders, manufacturers, importers and exporters under one roof.”
A wide range of topics to be discussed
