THAIFEX-Anuga Asia 2025, held from May 27–31 at IMPACT Muang Thong Thani, features over 3,200 companies from 56 countries and more than 6,200 booths, showcasing a wide range of food products, from agricultural goods and processed foods to food technology and related services.
Commerce Minister Pichai Naripthaphan stated that the event serves as a crucial platform for entrepreneurs to explore global food trends, engage in trade discussions, and reinforce Thailand's role as a leader in the global food industry, aligning with the "Kitchen of the World" policy.
In 2024, Thailand ranked as the world's 12th largest food exporter, and food export value is expected to increase by 6.8% to 1.75 trillion baht in 2025. The government aims to enhance product value through technology and innovation, with a goal to increase the contribution of SMEs to GDP from 30% to 50% in the future.
Poj Aramwattananont, chairman of the Thai Chamber of Commerce, noted that despite the global economic slowdown, the food export sector remains resilient. However, the private sector is concerned about raw material shortages and the strength of the baht, suggesting that an exchange rate of 34 baht or higher to the dollar would enhance export competitiveness.
The event is expected to attract over 90,000 visitors from 140 countries and generate 98 billion baht in orders during and after the fair throughout the year.
