Innovation will take center stage on November 25 and 26 during AgriBITs, a special segment dedicated to digitalization and agri-tech. These sessions will highlight how technology is reshaping farming and food security, offering participants the chance to engage directly with innovators and industry leaders. Registration for AgriBITs sessions is free and available through the online system.
On November 26, the Poultry Marketing Roundtable will bring policymakers, producers, academics, and industry experts together for high-level discussions. This year’s theme, “Intelligent Water Use in Poultry Farming: From Intake to Impact,” will address the pressing challenges and opportunities surrounding sustainability in poultry production.
Alongside the conferences, the exhibition floor will feature a wide array of industry solutions, while networking sessions and knowledge exchanges will position VIV MEA 2025 as the leading platform for the region’s animal protein and agrifood industries.
