What happened at ILDEX Vietnam 2022
Ho Chi Minh City hosted the eighth ILDEX Vietnam from 3 to 5 August 2022 at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC). The organisers, VNU Asia Pacific and VEAS, had moved the show to August as part of a calendar change. ILDEX Vietnam is a livestock trade exhibition, separate from HortEx, the horticulture show.
The three-day event covered Vietnam’s animal-production supply chain: feed, farm equipment and the systems that run livestock units. Ventilation, feeding and herd monitoring made most sense when viewed together with the building, stocking density and staff. A better device helps little if the real constraint sits somewhere else on the farm. Starting from the farm’s actual task gave visitors a fairer basis for comparing suppliers.
Livestock farmers, integrators, feed manufacturers, equipment suppliers and importers formed the main audience. For foreign manufacturers, the show was a way to find implementation partners and learn what local distributors need. Discussions covered data access, servicing, breakdown handling and who commissions an installation. One importer rarely covers sales, design, installation and after-sales support alone, and each of those roles needs a named company behind it.
Visitors could leave with a supplier map sorted by species and production stage. Local conditions mattered: climate, farm structure and market organisation in Vietnam differ from those in Europe. A conversation in Ho Chi Minh City was the start of qualifying a supplier, with references and a working installation in a similar climate as the next step.
