This is the first event after Thailand’s full reopening, expecting to bring in at least 36,000 business visitors from around the world and generate a turnover of 5 billion baht. Thai enterprises are very welcome to explore opportunities and challenges in the face of the ‘Global Food Crisis.’

Dr. Atchaka Sibunruang, Chairman of Thailand Convention & Exhibition Bureau (TCEB) - representative of the Deputy Prime Minister As a recipient from Mr. Anutin Charnvirakul, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Public Healthsays, "This is a good opportunity for Thailand to host ProPak Asia. The exhibition greatly contributes to the country's recovery after easing the covid control measures. International visitors pay attention to this trade show as it is one of the largest event in Asia for industrial products. It will bring investors and entrepreneurs to Thailand and revitalize the MICE industry long affected by the pandemic. More importantly, Thai SMEs, one of the main driving forces of the economy, will be able to explore the latest innovations and technologies, such as automation, IoT, and AI systems for further business development.

Food and beverage industries take center stage at this trade exhibition, showcasing cutting-edge innovations and technologies and running a series of activities during the event. There are also discussions on topics in food production following the global food crisis forcing several countries to stop exporting food products to prevent shortages. Meanwhile, as Thailand has stable food supplies that are enough for domestic consumption and exports, many businesses see trade opportunities in food products. Some organizations and companies are more than ready to provide support and consultations for businesses, such as the Thailand Institute of Scientific and Technological Research; and Food Processing Industry Club, Federation of Thai Industries, etc.”

Mr. Manu Leopairote, Chairman of Informa Markets Thailand, the organizer of ProPak Asia 2022, says, “This year, ProPak Asia receives great responses from over 1,000 exhibitors across the globe.
