Meat Pro Asia
VIV Asia coincided with Meat Pro Asia, the trade platform for processing and packaging in the meat industry. “It is always pleasing when a new trade fair is warmly received, and this was certainly the case with this first edition of Meat Pro Asia,” added Richard Li, executive director, Messe Frankfurt. “More importantly, however, it was encouraging to see a high number of energetic business discussions taking place throughout the fairground. From the feedback we have received, it is clear that holding these 2 fairs concurently is popular among buyers and exhibitors alike – it consolidates so many resources together in one place.”
Innovations
This year’s innovations spanned a wide range of topics, including safe and effective farming automation tools, and medical and medicinal products. Innovation-related events included a regional seminar on Innovations in Good Farming led by by the Federation of Asian Veterinary Association, as well as a seminar presented by Tony Hunter of Future Cubed on new technologies for a future sustainable and equitable global food system.
