Production at the Jaarbeurs-Utrecht exhibitions site in The Netherlands • This venue is only 30 minutes from the Dutch capital city, Amsterdam
• June 2018 brings the 40th anniversary of VIV Europe • The organisers are aiming for a 20% increase in visit numbers compared with the last edition VIV Europe returns in 2018 as the World Expo of animal protein
businesses from feed to food! Opening on Wednesday 20th June and continuing until Friday 22th June, in 2018 VIV Europe will be celebrating its 40th anniversary as a business platform series that has become renowned worldwide for combining excellent professional information with a superb visitor-friendly location. Often described as the global feed-to-food Olympics of the animal
protein sector in reference to its rotation of being organised every four years, the event held at the Jaarbeurs-Utrecht showground in The Netherlands focuses particularly on the world of production and processing for poultry meat and eggs.
Sharing Data = Better Poultry A major part of this focus at VIV Europe 2018 will be a special exhibition hall given the label of ‘Sharing Data = Better Poultry’. Its central concept relates to the wider Big Data approach within all global agriculture, explains VIV worldwide marketing manager Elena Geremia, in that it considers how to achieve a new level of poultry production to be proud of – driven by data. “We want to open a discussion about the benefits achievable
by sharing data along the poultry supply chain rather than simply collecting them for a more narrow analysis,” she remarks. “The special section at the show will put the spotlight on innovations from more than 30 exhibitors relating to Big Data poultry applications. Companies interested in being part of this section have until 30th April to submit their request. “Next to those exhibits will be a display of one of the first Dutch
examples of putting the idea into practice by the successful use of data-sharing in a poultry chain. Called Kip van Oranje, which could be translated as Orange Chicken, the organisation connects innovative poultry producers with distributors and suppliers along the chain to decide collectively on the process from farm to consumer.
PAGE 44 MAY/JUNE 2018 FEED COMPOUNDER “Given VIV Europe’s reach across all segments of animal protein
supply, from meat, eggs and milk to aquaculture, the obvious question is why we have chosen a focus on poultry. The answer is that the show’s home country of The Netherlands has always been a big source of innovations in poultry and therefore we saw this as the logical place to start.”
Four food events under one roof Its June dates this year make the smart-poultry display at VIV Europe 2018 a central feature of an information-packed week at the Jaarbeurs- Utrecht showground in which four shows are held side by side, each one designed for global agri-food industries and all sharing a theme of the opportunities for food producers to apply smart methods for efficiency, quality and sustainability. In addition to VIV Europe 2018, the three other events comprising
this first International Week of Smart Food Production at Jaarbeurs- Utrecht between 19th-22nd June will be GFIA Europe, the inaugural European Halal Expo and the new World Milk Expo. GFIA stands for Global Forum of Innovations in Agriculture, with
its wide-ranging focus on developments across agri-foods that includes crops and horticulture as well as meat, dairy and fish. The 2018 GFIA Europe on dates of 20th-21st June is dedicated to a review of essential sustainable technologies in food production. The new European Halal Expo also takes place at Jaarbeurs-
Utrecht on Wednesday 20th June and Thursday 21st June 2018. This will cover halal in all sectors, with special attention to its application in the production of food, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. World Milk Expo 2018 is another newcomer, scheduled for 20th-22nd June to provide an international event for the whole global dairy chain.
Convenient venue adds to visitor appeal The first trade fair under the VIV Europe name appeared in 1978 at the Jaarbeurs-Utrecht exhibitions complex --- which is again the show’s home in June 2018. The whole site has been thoroughly modernised to further enhance the benefits of a comfortable, compact layout located only about 30 minutes from Amsterdam by direct train or road. At its most recent previous edition, in May 2014, VIV Europe
received 20,212 visits by people from 136 countries and its exhibition area contained almost 600 companies. The organisers are making their preparations on the basis of being ready for a near 20% increase in visit numbers for June 2018 that would take the total attendance to about 25,000. “There are so many good reasons for visiting The Netherlands in
June, starting with VIV Europe!” declares Ruwan Berculo, Director of VIV worldwide. “The venue is very convenient and is reached easily from all parts of the world. Travelling from Amsterdam Schiphol airport to Jaarbeurs-Utrecht is only a short journey. For visitors arriving by
