The IMPACT Challenger 1-3 Halls, in Bangkok, Thailand is the confirmed venue for the coming edition of this leading event.

“Looking at the recent official statistics regarding the overall vaccination programme in Thailand and surrounding countries, we foresee that the Covid situation will not improve fast enough to clear travel restrictions and allow such an international show as VIV Asia, with more than 65% of visitors coming from outside Thailand, to welcome the expected high number of feed to food professionals in the beginning of 2022,” said Heiko M Stutzinger, director at VIV worldwide and managing director of VNU Asia Pacific and VNU Europe.
VIV Asia is thus officially returning to the traditional March cycle in the odd years, after Covid-19 pandemic disruption.
VIV Asia is coming back as the #1 leading international event for the livestock, animal proteins, feed to food industry with global and regional players and industry professionals finally gathering in 2023 in the exciting city of Bangkok from the entire Asian continent.
