UBM Asia Thailand is preparing to organise Food ingredients Asia 2015, on September 9 to 11, 2015 at the Bangkok International Trade and Exhibition Centre (BITEC). In celebration of the 20th Fi Asia Edition, UBM Asia Thailand is joining hands with public and private agencies to organise activities to support Thai enterprises. The company expects over 25% growth, targeting a 1,000 million baht turnover in the food industry and identifying rising food trends.
Seafood was highlighted as one of the bright spots for the food industry at the opening ceremony. Dr Nantiya Unprasert, an advisor to the Thai Frozen Foods Association, reveals that the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives has a policy to support and prepare Thailand to become an ASEAN Seafood Hub.
"With its constantly developing fishing industry, Thailand has exported fishery products for a long time, as its geographical advantages and fertile resources are perfect for fishing. The kingdom's total export value of frozen shrimp, squid and tuna around the world accounts for more than 3 trillion baht, making these product categories among the country's highest income-generating agricultural products, " she said.
Thai entrepreneurs are specialised in food processing and internationally recognised, she added. "In order to push Thailand to become an ASEAN Seafood Hub and increase its export volume, entrepreneurs need to acquire knowledge of food ingredients and food additives, as each importing country has different regulations. Therefore, they should strictly abide by those regulations and use them to create opportunities and satisfaction," she said.
An international halal food seminar by the National Food Institute will also be held as part of the event.
