This will see up to 300 processed meat products from the ASEAN region be judged by a jury of independent and trained test experts provided by the German Butchers’ Association. The winner of this competition will be invited to visit IFFA from 3 – 8 May 2025 to attend the world awards.”

Together with VIV Asia, the addition of Meat Pro Asia enhances the offerings to cover the complete supply chain of meat production. We are proud to have already sold 90 percent of the exhibition space, which means at least 4,200 sqm will be filled with over 90 companies from 23 countries and regions,” said Mr Supanat Treeratpicharn, Project Manager, VNU Exhibitions Asia Pacific Co Ltd. “In addition to the wide array of exhibitors, we are also organising two full-day conferences, offering industry professionals the opportunity to stay updated on the latest trends and technologies from worldwide experts.”
