VIV MEA returns to Abu Dhabi
VIV MEA, THE international feed-tofood trade show for the Middle East and Africa, is returning from 23-25 November, 2021 in Abu Dhabi, UAE for its third edition.
VIV MEA is ready to welcome the feedto-food, livestock and animal production industry players for yet another three-day exhibition and conference programme at a safely-equipped ADNEC venue in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
Despite the global situation, about 500 exhibitors will be present at the event which will be held on a 17,500 sq m gross space. As many as 8,000 visitors are expected to be attending the event. These are the figures making a mark for the upcoming show.
Feed and animal health are the vital factors driving the animal protein chain and one of the many reasons for anyone to be at VIV MEA is that it will bring together not only these two important factors, but also the rest of the supply chain, including farm production, breeding & hatching, processing and more.
About 500 exhibitors will be exhibiting from more than 40 countries. Some of the exhibitors include Al Dahra, Andritz, Biomin, Big Dutchman, Buhler, Cobb, Elanco, Jamesway Incubator, Moba, and Salmet. Brands related to all species will be under one roof, including dairy, fish, poultry, eggs, cattle, calves, goat and camels.
A lot of new products will be showcased, many of them for the first time since the pandemic. VIV MEA will be holding more than 20 conferences and technical seminars.

icant support to the show with their experience and innovations. Global and regional partners include Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority (ADAFSA), Ministry of Climate Change & Environment, DPC, NABC, GDF, EVA, Hub Orange, and FAVA, to name just a few. VIV MEA, firmly focused on the animal husbandry supply chain, will be a part of the first Abu Dhabi Agriculture & Food Security Week by the ADAFSA.
A promising third edition
VIV MEA 2016 had exceeded expectations and the show has been growing ever since, occupying three ADNEC halls in 2016 and an additional fourth in 2018 to meet the higher demand for stand space. A postshow survey found a satisfaction score of 7.3 out of 10 from exhibitors and an even higher rating of 8.3 from visitors.
Enriched conference programme
After a second edition that already surpassed expectations, this international event has returned with an enriched conference programme covering the latest trends in dairy, fish, poultry, eggs, cattle, calves, goat, and camels. Top-notch speakers from global and regional associations, partners as well as producers bring key insights for business development in this specific region. Strongly driven by business, VIV MEA will offer more products and trade opportunities to professionals from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
As Abu Dhabi has eased travel restrictions since a couple of months now, all vaccinated travellers can visit the city and attend the show while following all the protocols properly. Situated in the heart of the Middle Eastern Countries, Abu Dhabi serves as the gateway to the wider Middle East and African region. With its welldeveloped infrastructure, political and social stability, and consistent openness to foreign investment, it has been a magnet for overseas companies looking for a strategic location to set up or expand business.
VIV MEA is ready to welcome the Feed to Food industry for an inspiring three-day exhibition and conference. Pre-registration is recommended as it ensures participation of the conference and seminar programme. To register, visit www.vivmea.nl. h
