VICTAM Asia in co-location with VIV Health & Nutrition Asia will take place from September 7-9, 2022, and will be hosted at the IMPACT Halls 9 and 10, in Bangkok, Thailand. The international trade show organizers VICTAM and VIV worldwide, after a couple of postponements due to the pandemic, are finally ready to stage this co-location and present in Bangkok the much-awaited animal feed and health event for Asia.
The event program was presented at VIV Europe and VICTAM International in Utrecht, the Netherlands. H.E. Mr. Chatri Archjananun, Ambassador, Royal Thai Embassy, Hague, the Netherlands reassured on Thailand’s relaxed COVID-19 measures for travelers. Fully vaccinated travelers will no longer need to book a quarantined hotel or show a pre-post departure PCR test. For non-vaccinated travelers, PCR test 72 hours before arrival is mandatory, but no quarantine is required.
The Ambassador also focused on a few key industry insights and highlighted that statistically for Thailand, the feed additives market is projected to reach 2.56 billion USD by 2025, with the poultry market and compound feed industry as the major growth drivers. “There are many international as well as local companies in the Thai feed additive market, which are adopting various strategies, like expansions and partnerships to increase their market presence,” he said.
“We are finally ready to present to the Asian markets, a complete animal feed and health event that we have been working on for the last couple of years. Booth confirmations are well underway and we will be able to jointly present a total of 300 exhibitors at the modern IMPACT venue in Bangkok. We expect professional visitors from the whole ASEAN region and the rest of Asia with the main profiles being CEOs, feed formulators, mill managers, nutritionists, operation directors, transportation managers, and veterinarians,” said Sebas van den Ende, general manager of VICTAM International.
“VIV and VICTAM are committed to serving Asia’s feed and animal protein industries by jointly developing business opportunities within the feed ingredients and additives segments, which is the fastest-growing sector of the Feed to Food supply chain. After more than two years without a dedicated show in the region, the market needs a face-to-face show to get back to action,” said Heiko M. Stutzinger, VIV worldwide director.
An elaborate conference & technical seminar program is being organized alongside the exhibition halls. A wide range of topics will be discussed including feed milling and formulation, feed safety, aquafeed, pet food, grain and rice milling, high-tech animal health technology, genetics, pharmaceutical solutions for Asia, veterinary equipment, feed additives, bio-energy and biomass pelleting technology and much more.
As one of the main partners, FAVA, the Federation of Asian Veterinary Associations, will hold the Asian Animal Health Award 2022 during the event with two award categories open for qualified veterinarians – field practitioners and academician/researcher – to recognize their involvement and engagement in animal health. Candidates can apply until August 5. All information about the FAVA application is available in the NEWS section at vivhealthandnutrition.nl.
Registration for professional buyers and visitors is now open on the official websites victamasia.com and vivhealthandnutrition.nl.
