Welcome
Roger Gilbert - Publisher of International Aquafeed magazine
Welcome to our first ‘Aquatic Asia 2017’, a one-day conference which is a special event prepared for you by Progresses of Thailand, International Aquafeed magazine and VIV Worldwide. Aquatic feeds now account for nine percent of US$460 billion, the total value of compound feeds globally. Aquatic feeds accounted for almost 40 million tonnes of the one billion tonnes of compound feeds produced worldwide in 2016; but this does not include home-produced or on-farm produced feeds. Asia remains dominant in fish farming and consumes 26.7% of all compounded aquatic feedingstuffs produced, followed by Europe at six percent and Latin America at 3.6%. It is here in Asia that we will see the greatest uptake of new practices and technology and today’s presentations will add to that process. Protein from fish will play an increasingly important role in meeting the needs for human nutrition over the coming years and it’s important that companies, organisations and support services on our program today, along with our generous sponsors, are adequately thanked for the contribution they are making to this process.
VIV Worldwide is the business network linking producers from feed to food. Its global brand of Trade shows, Trade summits and events are based on the ‘Feed to Food’ concept, including the sectors of Poultry, Pig, Cattle & Calves and Aquaculture.
