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.

Depending on your matchmaking activities, 5 to 40% of the pre-registered seminar visitors will actually visit your presentation.
