Manila, Philippines – Following the overwhelming success of its 2024 edition, the Philippine Poultry Show & ILDEX Philippines is set to return on 27-29 August 2025 at the SMX Convention Center, Manila. For the first time, this premier livestock trade event will adopt an annual format, solidifying its position as a pivotal platform for industry innovation, knowledge exchange, and collaboration.
Responding to Industry Demand
In recent years, with the development of smart livestock farming,
new systems & automation as well as climate-smart agriculture etc., the new
technologies continue to evolve in every facet and collectively contribute to
more efficient and sustainable livestock production. It is crucial for the show
to keep up with the pace to ensure the local industry remains competitive and
well-informed about the latest advancements.
In addition, the Philippine livestock market shows significant
potential, driven by robust investment trends across multiple sectors:
Poultry and Egg: The Philippines ranks
among the top countries in Asia for poultry and egg demand growth, with rising
consumer preference for affordable protein sources.
Swine: Despite challenges such as
disease outbreaks, the swine industry is rebounding with increased investments
in biosecurity and sustainable farming practices, reflecting high recovery
potential compared to other Asian markets.
Dairy: The Philippines has seen a surge
in dairy consumption, leading to significant growth opportunities for both
local and imported products, making it one of the fastest-expanding dairy
markets in the region.
Aquaculture: The aquaculture industry is
experiencing steady growth, driven by government initiatives to promote
sustainable seafood production and the rising global demand for high-quality
fish products.
When compared to its regional counterparts, the Philippines stands
out for its diverse livestock portfolio and a consistently growing domestic
market demand. These factors position the country as a key player in the Asian
livestock sector, ensuring its appeal to investors and stakeholders alike.
“The Philippine livestock market is a dynamic landscape with both
challenges and abundant opportunities. An annual event enables us to offer more
timely solutions, provide consistent updates, and foster continuous
collaboration among industry stakeholders” said Ms. Panadda Kongma,
Vice-President Business, VNU Asia Pacific.
Looking Ahead to 2025
The 2025 edition will focus not only on poultry but will also
broaden its scope to attract professionals from the hog industry and feature
the newly introduced Smart Aqua Solutions Pavilion, showcasing innovations in
sustainable water systems. This expansion reinforces the event’s commitment to
addressing the most critical aspects of the livestock and agri-business
sectors.
“Momentum for the 2025 edition is already building, with over 40
