Preparations for FIAAP, VICTAM & GRAPAS Asia 2012 continue to progress well despite the flooding that has hit Thailand and Bangkok. The situation is now improving with flood levels going down. Much of Bangkok has remained flood free and the majority of the transportation system is now operating, including the underground railway and the BTS Skytrain.

BITEC, the new home for the shows has not been threatened by flooding, nor has Bangkok's International Suvarnabhumi Airport. Downtown Bangkok, where the majority of the city's hotels are situated, also remains flood free. In fact all the facilities necessary for a successful show have not been affected and are fully operational. 

Over the coming weeks the city will dry out and return to its vibrant, welcoming and fun loving self, for which it is famed. With life returning to normal and with still almost three months before the shows open the event will still attract senior trade executives from throughout the animal feed and grain processing industries of South and South East Asia. 

Visitors will find the latest feed ingredients and additives for animals, pets and aqua within the FIAAP exhibitors. The latest animal feed processing machinery and systems be on display at VICTAM. You will be able to touch those gleaming machines and get expert advice from the world's leading manufacturers and suppliers. The Victam show will also include many exhibitors that will be displaying the latest technology for biomass pelleting. 

There will also be many exhibitors displaying "ancillary equipment", for instance silos, conveyors, un/loaders, bagging, buckets, programs, etc. The "ancillary equipment" will also be applicable to the final exhibition – GRAPAS. This show is all about grain and rice milling and processing, its storage, sorting, preservation, transportation and final processing. For visitors from the rice and flour milling sectors, breakfast cereal, noodle and extruded snack producers this show will be a must.
