Over the past two years, HortiDaily has been visiting the Horti Asia to report on the show and to interview entrepreneurs about the chances in Southeast Asia. We have noticed that Southeast Asia can be seen as one of the most promising regions for the development of intensive agriculture, advanced horticulture and sustainable production practices. That is why the Horti Asia is an important gateway to horticulture in the ASEAN.
100 delegations
As part of their Buyers Program, this year the organization has invited 100 delegations from countries all over the world; these delegations consist of growers and decision makers from medium to large scale farms. According to show co-organizer Manuel Madani of VNU Exhibitions Asia Pacific, there will be a large participation of commercial growers from Vietnam and Malaysia and entrepreneurs from upcoming industries in China and Japan.
VIP service for growers and decision makers
Decision makers for medium to large scale growers still have a possibility to be qualified or upgraded as VIP and get two free hotel nights. Please send an e-mail to Manuel Madia of VNU Exhibitions - manuel.madani@vnuexhibitions.com.Dutch Excellence and keynote speakers
