UBM’s Asia Agri-tech Expo & Forum Set to Debut in Taiwan

February 8, 2017

Taiwan's first comprehensive agriculture technology exhibition, Asia Agri-Tech Expo & Forum 2017, will take place Sept. 28-30 at Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center.

It is being co-organized by the "Council of Agriculture (COA), Executive Yuan of Taiwan government", and UBM Asia Ltd., Taiwan Branch (UBM Taiwan).

 Held concurrently with Livestock Taiwan Expo & Forum 2017 and Aquaculture Taiwan Expo & Forum 2017, the event is positioned to be a one-stop comprehensive international B2B trading platform, showcasing innovative, eco-friendly and sustainability technology to help the industry to increase agriculture production yield, enhance international cooperation and explore overseas markets.

After many years of hard work effort, Taiwan has attained great achievements and gained a strong reputation in the field of agriculture technologies for agriculture, aquaculture and livestock breeding and cultivation. Many of the agricultural technicians working in multinational companies in Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam are from Taiwan. Against this background, UBM Taiwan received strong requests not only from within the Taiwan agriculture industry but also from foreign markets to hold an international, professional B2B agriculture event in Taiwan. Asia Agri-Tech Expo & Forum is therefore launched and UBM Taiwan is looking forward to working closely with "COA" on this exciting new project.

Established with its headquarters in Hong Kong and subsidiary companies across Asia and in the US, UBM Asia has a strong presence in 24 major cities with 32 offices. Asia Agri-Tech Expo & Forum 2017 will be actively promoted by UBM's offices in US, China, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippine, Indonesia, Vietnam in order to invite exhibiting companies and buyers from US, China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippine, Laos, and India.

In addition to members of the "COA", members of the Taiwan Environmental Manufactures Association, Taiwan Drinking Water Equipment Association, Taiwan Agriculture Machinery Manufacturers Association and Taiwan Veterinary Medicine & Health Industry Association will also participate in Asia Agri-tech Expo & Forum 2017.

Mr. Charles Gao, Chairman of the Taiwan Environmental Manufactures Association, said: "Agriculture Circular Economy will be the new engine for future economic development. Agriculture Circular Economy not only helps to restructure Taiwan's agriculture economy structure, but also to improve Taiwan's agriculture production waste recycling. Taiwan promotes circular economy vigorously, for example, by increasing the wholesale price of biogas electricity and promoting the "Green Energy Pig" program. We are very happy that Taiwan will now have an international B2B agriculture trading platform to allow our members to cooperate with international leading circular economy leaders."
