hailand’s National Food Institute (NFI) has projected food exports from the country to expand by 6.2 percent to 970 billion baht (US$29.89 billion) in value this year. According to NFI, the increase can be attributed to the improving global economy, with the International Monetar y Fund projecting global economic growth forecast for the year to be 3.6 percent, and the weakened Thai baht, which remains at an average of 31.34 baht per US dollar. Despite slowing domestic consumption as a result of political conflicts, the country’s food exports still have a bright outlook thanks to the expanding ASEAN economy. Businesses in Thailand and within the region are actively exploring innovations to move forward with higher value added products and a greater variety of products and packaging. “The food and drink manufacturing
industries are pillar economies in Thailand and continue to grow at strong growth rates,” says Justin Pau, GM of Bangkok Exhibition Services (BES). “Pharmaceutical manufacturing is also growing well. Even with the ongoing political situation, Thailand’s economy remains robust and continues to grow. Food exports are up by approximately six percent this year.” Against this backdrop, ProPak Asia, an international food, drink and pharmaceutical processing, filling and packaging technology exhibition, returns for its 22nd edition from June 11-14, 2014, from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm daily. Over the years, the event has grown from strength to strength, expanding in size (five percent larger compared to last year), as well as the product innovations on display at the show. This year, the show is expected to attract over 1,800 exhibitors from over 45 countries, including 14 national pavilions
from 11 different countries and regions, such as China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Spain, Taiwan, the UK and the US. Visitors will have a selection of over 4,500 machines from across the world. ProPak Asia 2014 features six zones to make it easier for suppliers and buyers to meet and make business.
