Several leading Vietnamese food and beverage companies will promote their products internationally at the THAIFEX-World of Food Asia, taking place from May 31 to June 4, 2017, in Bangkok, Thailand.

Leading F&B companies in Viet Nam, such as Vietnam Dairy Products Joint Stock Company (Vinamilk), Dan On Food, Rita Food & Drinks and Minh Phong Green & Agricultural Products JSC, have been attending THAIFEX 2017 for five consecutive years. There are also many new players, such as Seafarm Liability Limited Company and Lotus Rice Ltd. This year, Vietnamese exhibitors will see a 55 per cent increase in area, with the introduction of the new seafood pavilion.

“THAIFEX-World of Food Asia 2017 will mark the fifth consecutive year Vinamilk is participating in the international trade show. This year, besides a focus on our key products at the Viet Nam pavilion, we are excited to introduce our organic milk to consumers,” Vinamilk International Business director Vo Trung Hieu said.

"THAIFEX-World of Food Asia is a great platform for us to introduce and share our products with both Thai and international consumers. On top of that, we will also be able to expand our reach and work with new and emerging markets in the region,” Hieu added.

At the event organised by Koelnmesse, visitors can expect a mega show, with at least 45,000 industry professionals, 2,000 exhibitors and representatives from over 40 countries congregating for the five-day event.

THAIFEX 2017 will showcase distinctive features, including an additional 13,500 square in event space, making it the largest-ever trade fair in the F&B industry. The event will identify 11 key food industry trends for 2017, of which organic food is forecast to make waves this year. — VNS
