BANGKOK,Aug. 27,2018 -- With the strong and unwavering support from Department of Livestock Production,Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD),VIETSTOCK 2018 EXPO & FORUM and its co-located events VIETFEED,VIETMEAT and AQUACULTURE VIETNAM are coming back to Ho Chi Minh City from 17-19 October 2018,bringing the whole value chains,from production,processing & packaging to plate,of the livestock,aquaculture and meat industries together.

Since its first debut in 2004,this synergy continues to evolve and grow to meet the needs of its attendees and exhibitors. In 2018,the show will cover all two halls and main lobby area of the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center to accommodate increased number of exhibitors up to 350 local and international companies as well as to take in more networking opportunities and engaging events on the show floor.

Ms Rungphech Chitanuwat,Business Director of UBM Asia-- the event organizer said: "In an increasingly digital world people still want face-to-face interaction,and exhibitions are the best way to communicate and deliver clear messages,expand networks and develop business partnerships. The key factors for VIETSTOCK's continued success is the quality of visitors. You can talk to the people that really matter,make contact with new clients and cement the loyalty of your existing customers in a relaxed,but professional business environment. It's a two-way communication with right decision-makers,and that's why it's so effective."

Over 12,000 highly targeted trade visitors and delegates from Vietnam and the surrounding region are expected to attend VIETSTOCK 2018 to source for new products,latest technologies and potential business partners that helps generating sales leads and growing business. In the last edition of 2016,there were 77.6 percent of 10,518 visitors having purchasing authority and are potential customers for exhibiting companies.

The current Vietnam poultry and pig industries are exposed to a severe situation due to small-scale production,high feed cost and pork price decrease. Hence,the whole industry is putting effort into streamlining production and distribution,establishing effective supply systems as well as adding higher value for livestock and meat products for new exporting markets. These initiatives have led to positive result for pig production recently with pork prices rebounded from VND 20,000kg in December 2017 to around VND 48,000kg in August 2018. According to CP Vietnam,the largest pig producer in the country,it is expected that pig price continues to increase and pig-farming industry is going to recover in the remainder of the year.

In view of these,VIETSTOCK 2018 has been designed to be not only an exhibition showcasing innovative products and equipment but also a professional forum for bringing the industry together and discussing solutions to help the livestock farmers overcome their obstacles.

More than just a three-day show,the organizer provides extra opportunities for exhibitors to drive greater exposure and reach to target customers through multi-channel marketing campaign before,during and after the show,starting as soon as exhibiting companies book their stand. Extensive promotion campaign includes online newsletter,print materials,roadshow seminar,press conference,networking reception,world-class conferences,hosted buyers program,etc.

Additionally,there are a wide range of sponsorship packages which can be tailor-made to suite each company's objectives and budget,providing multiple touch points and driving good traffic to the booth.
