Why participate

VIV Asia 2009 connecting the Asian & Pacific markets for animal production and processing



Feed to Meat


Consumer attitude and behavior towards food is rapidly changing on a worldwide scale. There is a strong focus on health issues including healthier food. The demand for convenience food products, in smaller ready-to-eat portions, is on the rise. Consequently, the importance of delivering fresh and safe meat products with an extended shelf life is increasing. Packaging is becoming more important in the selling process; fresh foods should be conveniently packaged and easy to store.

Animal production and processing is facing a difficult time. After mad cow, classical swine and avian influenza, consumers are sceptical and want guarantees about the meats they eat. Meat safety can only be guaranteed if every step in the meat production chain is carefully monitored and controlled.

To stay current with these developments, today´s meat business is about improving:

  • yield
  • quality
  • hygiene
  • traceability
  • portioning
  • performance
  • profitability
  • efficiency
  • transparency

Meat producing and – (further) processing companies adapt and impove their production processes to meet the demands. International food quality institutions developed standards for quality assurance and secured traceability. The trend is towards systems that cover the entire food chain from primary production to finished products: from feed to meat. And that´s where VIV comes in.


VIV and meat safety


VIV Asia fulfills the role of the region's platform on animal production and meat processing. It showcases the industry's trends and technologies by the Feed to Meat concept. Feed to Meat joins supply and demand of the complete animal protein chain, based on the fact that animal feed and animal health are vital to guarantee meat quality and safety. VIV Asia 2009 will represent all parts of the meat production process. At the jointly-held VIV Asia Conference, seminars and workshops on related topics will be featured.

Food safety begins with Feed to Meat




Aqua VIV Asia 2009


Aqua VIV Asia 2009: The Aquaculture event in the Asia-Pacific

In 2007 we set up the Aqua Walk and initiated the Aqua Forum during VIV Asia 2007. This was a result from visitors´ wishes to integrate Aquaculture and every aspect involved in the VIV shows. These 2 new initiatives were very successfull! More than 100 exhibitors participated in the Aqua Walk, a dedicated tour through the exhibition highlighting aquaculture solutions to visitors. The Aqua Forum featured 10 key-note presentations from key players in the Global Aquaculture industry.

In 2009 we will launch the first dedicated Aqua event within the VIV portfolio, Aqua VIV Asia 2009, which runs alongside VIV Asia.


Global Aquaculture Market: already € 60 billion


The global market for aquaculture is already immense, and has an annual growth rate of around 8% per year. Aquaculture is the fastest growing food production sector. The ever growing world population and the demand for cheaper animal protein substitutes has put Aquaculture in the spotlights, already accounting roughly for 40% of the world´s total supply of fish food – at a worldwide value of € 60 billion.

The Rabobank, as knowledge partner worldwide of VIV, will start the programme with the opening conference.

In 2007, the VIV Asia Conference attracted 2700 visitors and for 2009 we expect the same high quality level of visitors and approximately the same number of visitors. This is the reason why we continue this successful concept, which is based on effective cooperation of the VIV organisation, exhibitors, visitors, well organised platforms and representative organisations in our branch.

Preparation


We strongly advise you to send special invitations to your potential customers or other business contacts well in advance. Pre-registered visitors can register also in advance for VIV Asia and for your specific seminar sessions. We will send you the online pre-registered visitors (who gave permission for approach) of your session 10 days before the start of the conference, so that you can carry out the appropriate matchmaking with your customers.

The seminar program will be published for our potential visitors and exhibitors. Our experience is that these matchmaking activities are crucial for the success of your presentation. Depending on your matchmaking activities, 5 to 40% of the pre-registered seminar visitors will actually visit your presentation.

Due to limited conference slots we advise you to return the fax reply form as soon as possible, but before December 31, 2008.
