With three months to go before the in-person trade fair AGRITECHNICA ASIA & HORTI ASIA, 25-27 May 2022 at the BITEC exhibition grounds
in Bangkok, registered exhibitors from 26 countries have greeted the news this month that quarantine for vaccinated travelers to Thailand is no
longer needed. Supported by the official co-host, the Thai Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives, and with 300 exhibitors expected, the trade fair’s
theme is sustainable production.

 

“More and more countries in Southeast Asia are opening their borders to quarantine-free travel. Seeing these developments, we are looking
forward to a high international turnout of exhibitors with so much to offer Southeast Asian farmers,” said Ms. Katharina Staske, Managing
Director of DLG’s office in Thailand.

 

“Smart farming as sustainability solutions, vertical farming and even cannabis production are just some of the many highlights that farmers can
discover in Bangkok in 2022. The Industry Ministry is planning to make Thailand a hub of cannabis businesses to produce new products in the
medical sector and support tourism. So I think it is the perfect time to bring this topic to our exhibitions,” said Panadda Kongma, Director
Agribusiness & Operations of VNU Asia Pacific.

 

New: Smart farming and seven international pavilions

 

An important part of Thailand’s sustainable production, precision and smart farming technologies and applications including many from startups
will be explored at the new Thailand Smart Farming Pavilion jointly organized with the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives.

 

Smart farming in Thailand and solutions like drone and satellite technology, automation and robotics and working weed robots have already
attracted attention at the Regional Summit held in Thailand late last year. The topic of smart farming will be explored further at the Smart Farming
Pavilion which will present solutions aimed at all farm sizes.

Seven country pavilions for China, Finland, Germany, India, Japan, the Netherlands and South Korea, each located within the trade fair, will
showcase equipment and technical solutions from global companies to Asia’ farmers in the regions.

 

New: Vertical farming and cannabis production

 

Located in the horticultural exhibition area ‘HORTI ASIA’, the new pavilion “Vertical Farming” co-organized by the Association for Vertical Farming
(AVF) focuses on the production of plant-based food in urban spaces while the Cannabis Pavilion set up by Thailand Cannabis Industry
Association (TCIA) aims to further knowledge in cannabis production, an area increasingly attractive to Thai farmers since its legalization in 2021. 

 

Comprehensive Conference Program and Guided Exhibition Tours

The exhibition will be accompanied by about 30 professional sessions on all three exhibition days, exploring topics like “Thailand Cane and
Sugar Industries after Covid-19”; “Towards carbon reduced (or neutral) rice production and processing” ; and “Development of Smart
Industrial Agriculture Technology in Thailand”. A selection of discussion events will also be held online.

 

Together with the Department of Agricultural Extension of the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives, guided tours through the exhibition will be
offered to invited farmer groups and interested visitors. Tours address topics relevant for the farmers of the region such as efficient water management
or post-harvest solutions.
