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.
