ILDEX Vietnam 2026: Premier B2B launchpad for SEA's livestock industry

Looking ahead to its 10th edition in 2026, ILDEX Vietnam, with the theme "The 10th international livestock, dairy, meat processing and aquaculture exposition," reaffirms its strong commitment to fostering innovation and supporting the development of a clean, efficient, and sustainable agricultural value chain.

Connecting trade across the value chain

Scheduled to take place from May 20-22, 2026 in Ho Chi Minh City, ILDEX Vietnam 2026 is a major international exhibition in the fields of livestock, meat processing, aquaculture, and veterinary medicine. The event will showcase a wide range of advanced products and technologies, contributing to the growth of green agriculture. A key highlight will be the introduction of sustainable farming models and green production practices, alongside initiatives to strengthen biosecurity and food safety for both domestic and export markets.

Among the key highlights are green husbandry and sustainable farming practices, which align with the Vietnamese government's direction and industry demand. These initiatives aim to enhance biosecurity, promote sustainable animal production, and improve food safety. 

Ms. Panadda Kongma, Vice President of VNU Exhibitions Asia Pacific Co., Ltd – the event organizer – shared: “For the 10th edition of ILDEX Vietnam in 2026, ILDEX Vietnam is honored to receive strong support from the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment as well as the Vietnam Poultry Association, with the proposal to introduce the Vietnam Pavilion at this exhibition. The pavilion aims to support local enterprises in fostering business connections, promoting trade, boosting exports, and integrating into the global market. With their guidance and collaboration, this edition will feature a program that goes far beyond a traditional exhibition".

Bringing together industry leaders, policymakers, and innovators, ILDEX Vietnam 2026 is not only a platform to showcase cutting-edge technologies but also a strategic dialogue forum, driving the transition toward greener and more efficient agriculture in Vietnam and across the region.

Ms. Panadda Kongma from VNU Exhibitions Asia Pacific Co., Ltd further noted: "We will host a series of diverse activities, including international conferences and business matching programs, where domestic and international experts will share solutions, technological innovations, and development strategies in livestock, aquaculture, veterinary medicine, and food processing moving toward a green value chain."

Strengthening brand identity, expanding trade cooperation

Going beyond a conventional exhibition, the business matching program at ILDEX Vietnam 2026 offers Vietnamese enterprises the chance to directly engage with international partners from investors and technology providers to businesses seeking joint ventures, technology transfer, and market expansion.

In addition, activities such as the networking night, field visits, and the international showcase area will further promote knowledge sharing and foster lasting partnerships in both formal and informal settings.

“To fully leverage the B2B networking platform, enterprises should actively participate in the business matching program. These meetings are not merely introductions but can unlock long-term collaboration opportunities in areas such as technology transfer, product distribution, or joint ventures,” noted Ms. Panadda.

By approaching the platform proactively and professionally, local businesses can connect with global industry leaders, gain market insights, and increase their visibility. ILDEX Vietnam 2026 is the perfect stage for Vietnamese companies to elevate their global presence and strengthen their competitiveness.

Moreover, ILDEX Vietnam 2026 will feature dedicated exhibition zones for aquaculture and a meat processing pavilion, along with an agriculture pavilion presented by Horti & Agri Vietnam, the complete seed-to-food trade show in Vietnam, further expanding the event’s scope into a more comprehensive industry platform.  

ILDEX Vietnam 2026 is Asia’s leading trade exhibition dedicated to the livestock, veterinary, and aquaculture value chain. The event serves as a premier platform for businesses to explore market opportunities, connect with global partners, and discover the latest innovations driving sustainable growth in the industry.
