Mr. Hoang Manh Ha, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of the Agriculture and Environment Newspaper, said that ILDEX Vietnam has long been known as one of the most influential exhibitions in the livestock, veterinary, and food processing sectors in Southeast Asia. Furthermore, Horti&Agri Vietnam serves as an international meeting point for the fields of horticulture, horticulture, and high-tech agriculture, bringing together advanced solutions from production to post-harvest. The co-organization of these two exhibitions creates a comprehensive ecosystem, fully reflecting the development of modern agriculture – from livestock farming and crop cultivation to processing and distribution.
As the event organizer, Mr. Kevin Zhao, Senior Project Director of VNU Asia – Pacific, affirmed: “The future of the livestock industry is not simply about growth, but also about smart, sustainable, and resilient growth.” He pledged that strong participation from businesses from Europe, North America, and Asia will bring a range of advanced technologies and solutions in the fields of animal feed, veterinary medicine, smart agricultural systems, food processing, and agricultural value chains.
One of the most anticipated highlights of the exhibition is the launch of the Vietnam National Pavilion, which brings together leading businesses such as Dabaco Group, Goovet, Travetco, Asia Veterinary, AVAC, SaigonVet, etc. The pavilion was built under the direction of the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, in coordination with the Vietnam Poultry Association (VPA) and the International Exhibition, Event and Technology Joint Stock Company (ITEC). Alongside the exhibition, ILDEX Vietnam 2026 promises to deliver a series of high-level conferences and large-scale technical workshops, bringing together managers, experts, businesses, associations, and international organizations. Discussions will revolve around key topics: sustainable livestock development, digital transformation in agriculture, technological innovation, and global market trends.
In addition, specialized business networking programs will be implemented by the organizers to optimize trade efficiency. These networking activities help businesses and visitors connect with the right potential partners, while also supporting delegations attending the exhibition.
