The Taiwan International Fisheries and Seafood Show 2016, co-hosted by the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) and MY Exhibition Co., Ltd, will take place on 9-11 November at the Kaohsiung Exhibition Hall.
The exhibition will be on a larger scale this year - with 250 local and international exhibitors on more than 500 booths, it is expected to draw some 7,000 professional visitors this year.
According to TAITRA, the first edition of the show saw 215 exhibitors on 418 booths last year and attracted 6,500 visitors, including 700 professional buyers from abroad. After the expo, international media posted stories on the event, giving the Taiwanese fisheries and seafood sector more visibility and exposure on the international stage.
The second edition of the expo - in addition to fishing gear and technology, fish farming, processed seafood products and fishery services - will include a section on fisheries biotechnology for the first time. The new inclusion is aimed at promoting the potential of the development of local fisheries.
Taiwan’s fishing industry and its production value have played a vital part in the international market. The technology and innovation skills demonstrated by the local companies have made them stand out from their international counterparts. The expo will see manufacturers, suppliers and retailers from the industry gather at the same venue and will again promote Taiwan’s fishery industry successfully on the world stage.
