ILDEX 2006: The international livestock & dairy expo for emerging markets in Asia
NEO, Asia's leading livestock exhibition organizer in Bangkok is launching brand new international livestock and dairy expos in Vietnam and India - - two of Asia's most promising markets. ILDEX 2006 is designed in part to serve the technological demands of specific countries. More shows are in the pipeline.
With a decade of experience in livestock exhibition in Asia, N.C.C. Exhibition Organizer Co., Ltd., has been noticing the rising demands for international exhibitions in emerging countries outside Thailand. Vietnam and India are also showing the way to a brighter future and thus are in need for new technology to improve livestock and dairy production to cater to growing local demand and the export market.
Mrs. Ladda Mongkolchaivivat, Director, N.C.C. Exhibition Organizer Co. said that "Undoubtedly, Thailand is and will remain the regional hub for the livestock industry and livestock exhibitions in Asia - - as the country has dominated the livestock industry for decades. And the next exhibition in Thailand will be yet another great international technology show."
Advanced technology for the livestock industry is in strong demand around the globe. But each country may need a different level of technology to serve the unique demands, habits and characteristics of local consumers. This may also apply to a certain nation's export market. Shows are thus tailored to each country, meaning international exhibitors may introduce technology that best suits a specific market.
ILDEX has been timely planned to accommodate the technology requirements of each country - - with Vietnam and India at the forefront.
As mentioned already, Vietnam is proving itself to be a genuine emerging market for the world livestock industry. There are two main reasons for this phenomenon: Vietnam's population explosion and increased living standards. This is especially noticeable in Vietnam's booming cities and industrial zones. The result is that demand for meat products and milk products is expected to increase by 8.5 percent and 7.7 percent respectively.
Integration into AFTA and the WTO is a big challenge for Vietnam's livestock production. In 2006, Vietnam will have to open its livestock product market as per agreement. It is obvious that production costs for their livestock products must be reduced. Furthermore, the quality and safety of these products needs to improve to make Vietnam's livestock products more competitive. Needless to say, science and technology are crucial for this endeavour.
The Indian livestock industry is on the brink of modernising its entire food chain. Food production in India is likely to double in the next ten years. A recent study reveals that the turnover of India's total food market is approximately US$96.4 billion. Out of this, value-added food products comprise $22.2 billion (US). India's government has also approved proposals for joint ventures, foreign collaborations and industrial licenses, with the consumer food segment being given top priority. Sectors with a promising future are deep sea fishing, aqua culture, milk and milk products, and the meat and poultry segments. Domestic major producers are gearing up for more exports. There is now a concentrated push to raise standards and also to make Indian export products more competitive.
The rising demand for truly international livestock and dairy expositions in Vietnam and India parallels the demand for modern technology to upgrade the quality and standards of their livestock and dairy production. Both countries hope to grab a large share of the lucrative export market.
In Vietnam, NEO is teaming up with Vietnam National Trade Fair and Advertising ompany (VINEXAD) for ILDEX Vietnam 2006, scheduling on 16-18 March 2006 at HIECC, Ho Chin Minh City, Vietnam. While for ILDEX India 2006 in India NEO's partner is PIXIE, or Publication India Pvt. Ltd. - - India's leading publisher of trade directories and publications which serve the Indian poultry and livestock industries. ILDEX India 2006 is scheduled on 28-30 June 2006, New Delhi, India.
The looming exhibition will be a showcase for all of the following and more: poultry breeding, slaughtering and processing, egg production and processing, feed production and management, pig breeding, slaughtering and processing, animal health, cattle breeding, transport and packaging, fish farming & aquaculture, knowledge transfer, plus dairy, pig & poultry equipment.
ILDEX is an ideal marketing platform for international manufacturers and suppliers for the livestock and dairy industry. ILDEX will help participating companies and organizations to penetrate and capture the emerging Vietnamese and Indian markets. And in addition to the selling of products and services direct to buyers, exhibitors also have opportunity fully experience the local environment.
As an added bonus to the trade exhibition, there are going to be intensive seminars plus ¡®Meet & Match' sessions offering excellent business opportunities for both buyers and sellers in the livestock and dairy industries. "Yes," Mrs. Ladda said, "the ILDEX show will be organized at an international level. And most certainly there will be participation by international exhibitors. Yet the show will also cater to the niche demands of the host countries. Come and experience it!"
