Influential Asian seafood event returns to Hong Kong for 8th time

This year's Seafood Expo Asia will feature new country pavilions and a redesigned product showcase to show off the best of seafood products, services and equipment from around the world.

The trade event, produced by Diversified Communications, builds on last year's success. In 2016, Seafood Expo Asia attracted more than 8,800 seafood professionals from 69 countries. Newcomers for 2017 include international pavilions from South Korea and China joining new exhibiting countries like the Maldives.

Seafood Expo Asia attendees will have the opportunity to participate in the new and enhanced conference programme covering topics such as Internet of Things (IoT) applications in the seafood industry, traceability and authentication, consumer trends, aquaculture, and a workshop on sustainability and certification. 

The Seafood Expo Asia Product Showcase will be presented in a new market-style setting this year to provide exhibitors from around the world with an effective way to introduce their brands to the market and buyers to new purchasing ideas.

According to the World Bank, the Asia Pacific region will account for 70% of global fish consumption by 2030. "With consumer demand for seafood at a record high, international buyers and decision makers representing retailers, supermarkets, importers, hotels, restaurants, chefs, catering services, wholesalers and distributors will gain valuable insight into new product innovations, best practices and emerging trends affecting the industry in the Asian market," says Event Director Iris Kwan.

"Forming relationships with customers in this part of the world is vital for global seafood producers and suppliers when one considers that seafood consumption is projected for considerable growth across the entire region."

Registered buyers attending the event include Aeon Big (Malaysia), Aeon Stores (Hong Kong), City Super (Hong Kong), Colruyt Group (Hong Kong), ITM Alimentaires International (Thailand), Metro Food Sourcing APAC (Hong Kong), MGM Macau, ParknShop (Hong Kong), Sodexo Service Asia (Singapore), Tesco Stores (Malaysia), and Walmart China.
