BANGKOK, Aug. 20, 2018
/PRNewswire/ -- Thailand set to
host two major agricultural business events which feature smart
technologies during 22-24 August
2018. Attracted by Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau
(Public Organization) or TCEB, these events will underscore the
country's leading position in the world's agriculture sector and
are expected to attract up to 20,000 international delegates coming
to explore agricultural innovations displayed under one roof.
Highlights of the smart-tech designed from Thailand such as an intelligent sugarcane
cutting machine and a smart plant-nursery with an artificial
lighting system will be showcased along with an agricultural drone
technology from China.
Mr. Chiruit Isarangkun Na Ayuthaya, President of Thailand
Convention and Exhibition Bureau (Public Organization) or TCEB,
said that TCEB provides support for two agricultural trade fairs
which to be hosted in Thailand
namely Horti ASIA 2018 - a leading
international trade show for horticulture and floricultural
production and processing technology, and AGRITECHNICA ASIA 2018 - the world's largest trade fair for
agricultural machinery and equipment. Both events will take place
in Bangkok during 22-24 August 2018 at the Bangkok International
Trade and Exhibition Center or BITEC.
These trade fairs will further strengthen Thailand's position as a major hub for trade
and investment in agricultural machinery as well as innovative
technologies which have been building on the country's significant
role in the world's agricultural sector. For this year's edition,
the co-located fairs will be emphasising on the 'Solutions for
Horticulture and Agricultural Industries'.
The Horti Asia 2018 is recognised as the region's leading
event for horticultural professionals involved in growing fruit,
flowers, vegetables, and plant production and greenhouse
technology. This year's highlights showcase agricultural and
horticultural technologies including academic works from the
Embassy of The Netherlands and the
International Society for Horticultural Science (ISHS). Also, the
show will reveal state-of-art technological developments for
agribusinesses such as an agricultural drone technology from
China, an energy-efficient water
system from Turkey, and a smart
plant-nursery with an artificial lighting system from Thailand.
The AGRITECHNICA ASIA
has established itself as the trade fair for agricultural machinery
in the Asian-Pacific region. This year, the show will include the
Systems & Components Asia exhibition – an international
platform for the latest developments in engines and components for
agricultural machinery and related industries – for the first time.
New technologies to be showcased at the show include the hydraulic
fertilizer placement machine from Germany, sugarcane cutting machine operated by
the Software and Intelligent System from Thailand and a Smart Mobile Farming
Application that is designed to improve agricultural
efficiency.
"TCEB has been placing emphasis on these agricultural trade
fairs. The events are not only driving the growth of Thailand's MICE industry but also
strengthening the agricultural sector which is considered the
mainstay of Thailand's
economy," said Mr.
Chiruit.
It is estimated that the Horti ASIA 2018 and AGRITECHNICA ASIA 2018 will generate more than
824 million baht in revenue to the
country and attract more than 17,000 delegates including 7,600
international delegates and 9,600 delegates from
Thailand.
