Business France, the national agency supporting the development of the French economy, will organise the French pavilion at VIV MEA 2020, the trade fair devoted to livestock taking place from March 9 to 11 in Abu Dhabi.

 

The French pavilion will be hosting 20 French companies (including 14 new exhibitors) specialised in: animal feed & nutrition, animal health,  equipment and innovative solutions for hatchery & laboratory and efficient egg processing lines and packaging. The pavilion will showcase the latest French technologies in the livestock industry and allow professionals to set up meetings with these companies on the spot. 

 

Covering several industries such as poultry, aquaculture or dairy, the trade show attracts professional visitors mostly from the Middle East, Africa, India and Central Asia. 

 

In 2018, France was the world’s fifth largest agri-food exporter (UN Comtrade). Being the 3rd largest poultry producer in EU (1.7 million tons in carcasse weight equivalent - CWE), first beef producer (1.5 million tons in CWE), first egg producer (14.4 billion eggs in 2017) and second milk producer in EU (Eurostat), France offers expertise in all fields related to livestock. 

 

Exporting $12.7 billion livestock solutions worldwide in 2019, France is a leading cereal producer in Europe, with exports of 31.3 million tons of cereals. With nearly 300 production facilities in France, the animal feed industry is one of the top users of grain cereals. France exported $3.1 billion of prepared animal feed globally, Business France said.

 

The pavilion is supported by “Bretagne Commerce International”, a regional player (interprofessional council and regional collective) bringing together the companies from the Brittany region.

 

Choose France is the official brand that promotes French industrial sectors and attractiveness internationally. 

 

The French pavilion will be located in Hall 7 C039 to F048 & Hall 8 K063.  – TradeArabia News Service
