Pasay City, 5 July 2023 – Today marks another milestone for Livestock Philippines as it opens its door for the biggest and grandest 6th edition with the special guest of honor – no less than His Excellency Ferdinand Marcos Jr., at the World Trade Center Metro Manila, in Pasay City.
Invited dignitaries and officials from the Department of Agriculture, together with Informa Markets, the organizer of Livestock Philippines, warmly welcome the president who is also the secretary of the respected agency for agriculture. President Marcos Jr., champions modernization and agricultural development which is timely to his visit to Livestock Philippines wherein around 300 local and international exhibitors showcase their machinery, products, and other services that are beneficial to the agriculture industry, particularly to the livestock, poultry, and aquaculture sectors.
Now in its sixth edition, Livestock Philippines 2023 highlights the theme of the ecosystem of livestock and poultry supply chain on food security, safety, and sustainability as the show coincides with the country’s celebration of Nutrition Month in July. Relative to this, distinguished specialists will spearhead the seminars and conferences that will underscore the need for a modernized but safe approach to livestock, aquaculture, and poultry farming in ensuring safe and sustainable food production. Some of the conference topics are contributed by the National Dairy Authority, the Philippine Carabao Center, the Bureau of Animal Industry, and the National Livestock Program to name a few. This year, Livestock Philippines also collaborates with new partners like the Philippine College of Swine Practitioners wherein they will host the swine talks on the second day of the event featuring four experts from the swine sector.
Aside from the hosted conference by the government agency, Livestock Philippines also highlights exclusive technical seminars by the exhibitors about the in-depth discussion on feed production, sustainable livestock production, aqua farming, breeding, broiler caging system, and egg forum.
The show’s success is attributed to the valuable partnership between the Department of Agriculture (DA) and Informa Markets—the organizers of Livestock Philippines and its ASEAN and Taiwan series. The exceptional insights of the DA, along with its affiliated agencies and the global marketing connection of Informa Markets, made Livestock Philippines the most trusted trade event for livestock, poultry, and aquaculture since 2011.
