Exhibitors to showcase solutions that counter rising meat prices at next month’s Meat Pro Asia

With global meat prices rising more than 10% in 2022, reliable processing methods and quality assurance are becoming vital pieces of the puzzle when it comes to reducing costs from wastage and extracting maximum value from the food processing chain. With the exhibitor line-up for next month’s inaugural edition of Meat Pro Asia now confirmed, it’s clear that these considerations will be at the top of the agenda in Bangkok from 8 – 10 March. The focus will be on how to deliver meat from farm to table in a cost effective and scalable way, with more than 80 exhibitors from 20 countries and regions participating.

The change will see Meat Pro Asia return to its biennial event cycle in March every two years beginning from the 2023 fair onwards. VIV Asia, the largest event from feed to food in the region, has also been postponed, with the two events now set to take place alongside each other in March 2023 at IMPACT Challenger Halls 1 – 3, Bangkok.
