Hanoi, Vietnam — 22 May 2025 — Under the directive of the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, the Vietnam Poultry Association (VPA), in collaboration with the Department of Livestock Production and Animal Health, VNU Exhibitions Asia Pacific Co., Ltd., and International Technology Exhibition and Events JSC (ITEC), is pleased to host the key industry conference titled “Developing Vietnam’s Poultry Industry Toward a Sustainable Value Chain.”

The conference will be held from 08:00 to 12:00 on 22 May 2025 at Conference Room 201, 2nd Floor, 7-Storey Building, International Convention Center, Gate 35 Hung Vuong Street, Ba Dinh District, Hanoi City. It will bring together senior government representatives, industry leaders, international organizations, and key businesses to set strategic directions for the future growth of Vietnam’s poultry sector — while also highlighting the upcoming ILDEX Vietnam 2026, the country’s leading international livestock exhibition.

Key Highlights of the Conference:

Official Welcome by Dr. Phung Duc Tien, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Environment, affirming the national commitment to sustainable livestock development, who remarked, “In 2024, Vietnam’s livestock sector—particularly the poultry industry—overcame numerous challenges and achieved impressive growth, reaching its highest production levels in the past five years. This achievement has placed Vietnam among the top 10 poultry-producing countries in the world.

However, the industry still faces significant challenges, including small-scale farming, disease control, food safety, and weak linkages within the value chain. Developing a sustainable value chain is now an essential direction to enhance competitiveness, ensure product quality, and promote green growth.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment is committed to supporting, enabling, and fostering innovation to help the poultry sector grow sustainably, thereby contributing to national food security and boosting export potential.”

Opening Remarks by Dr. Nguyen Thanh Son, Chairman of the Vietnam Poultry Association (VPA), who stated, “Over the past four decades, Vietnam’s poultry sector has experienced robust growth, becoming a key pillar of the agricultural economy. It plays a vital role in securing livelihoods for millions of farming households and meeting both domestic consumption and export demands. However, the industry now faces major challenges related to pricing, market fluctuations, development models, and business confidence amidst ongoing uncertainties.

Today’s conference, themed ‘‘Developing Vietnam’s Poultry Industry Toward a Sustainable Value Chain,’ marks an important step in shaping a strategic direction for the sector—toward modernization, sustainability, and adaptability in line with global integration trends and the future expectations of the entire industry.”

Industry Welcome Address by Ms. Panadda Kongma, Vice President–Business, VNU Asia Pacific, emphasizing the pivotal role of ILDEX Vietnam in advancing Vietnam’s livestock sector through global innovation and business opportunities: “Marking its 10th edition, ILDEX Vietnam has cemented its position as the leading marketplace for the livestock, dairy, aquaculture, and food processing industries in Asia. This milestone edition will present a more international showcase with 20% hall expansion, featuring expanded product profiles, a dedicated Meat Processing Pavilion, an international Aquaculture Conference, and the launch of Horti Agri Next Select Vietnam. By bridging the livestock and agriculture sectors, ILDEX Vietnam aims to drive sustainable growth and create greater value for Vietnam and the wider Asian market,” she added.

The conference marks an important milestone in Vietnam’s journey toward building a more sustainable, efficient, and globally competitive poultry industry. It also serves as a strategic prelude to ILDEX Vietnam 2026, the premier international livestock exhibition that will showcase cutting-edge innovations and foster vital business connections for the livestock and poultry sectors.

Through strong collaboration between government agencies, industry associations, and international partners, Vietnam’s poultry industry is poised for transformative growth. ILDEX Vietnam 2026 will be a key platform supporting this advancement.

The conference will also feature a dynamic Roundtable Discussion on Building and Developing a Value Chain for Vietnam’s Poultry Industry, gathering industry experts to share practical strategies for enhancing competitiveness and achieving sustainability goals.
