What happened at VIV Asia 2023
VIV Asia came back on 8–10 March 2023 in a new home: the IMPACT complex, with the show held at IMPACT Challenger in Pak Kret, Nonthaburi, within the Bangkok metropolitan area. VNU Asia Pacific and VNU Exhibitions Europe organise the event. According to VNU, the 2023 edition reported 47,527 attendees and more than 1,186 manufacturers and suppliers. Meat Pro Asia ran alongside it, adding a processing programme to the same week.
The idea behind VIV Asia is feed to food, the whole path from feed production through the farm to processing. In 2023 that meant feed technology, housing, nutrition, animal health and processing equipment under one roof. Because each stage affects the next, an equipment supplier had to know exactly where its product would sit in a customer's operation. Stocking conditions, staff skills, power supply and hygiene all shape how automation performs once installed.
Feed businesses, poultry and pig producers, integrators, equipment makers and processing suppliers formed the core audience. A partner met in Thailand could just as well run projects in another country, so territory was worth clarifying early. References for the same species, a defined training offer and clear responsibility for critical spare parts told a Polish exporter more than broad claims of regional coverage. Selling experience alone did not prove that a firm could install or maintain equipment.
For European suppliers, VIV Asia 2023 offered a wide view of animal-production supply chains in Asia. With Meat Pro Asia in the same venue, visitors needed to keep track of which programme and which group of exhibitors a conversation belonged to. The most useful result was a partner map organised by species, production stage and support scope. Each entry was best tied to the specific farm problem that a proposed installation would solve.
