More than 150 leading Vietnamese, regional and international
suppliers of food ingredients will exhibit at the show, including
leading companies such as Brenntag, GNT, Behn Mayer, Golden Frog and
G.S. Dunn.

Free registration to attend the event is now live at
http://www.fi-vietnam.net. Over 2,500 industry professionals from 15+
countries are expected to attend over the 3 days, representing a wide
range of industry sectors and industry stakeholders. Combined with a
high-level conference on May 22nd in association with VaFoST, Fi
Vietnam will also provide opportunities for visitors to learn of
industry developments, food safety and key market trends.

Event organisers UBM Asia's (Thailand) Business Director,
Rungphech (Rose) Chitanuwat highlights the exclusive nature and
importance of Fi Vietnam, commenting: "Fi Vietnam is targeting
visitors not only from Vietnam, but throughout the Mekong River Delta
Region - Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar. The key distinction of
the Fi portfolio is that our events are dedicated solely to food
ingredients - not finished foods. This allows us to offer a one-stop
show for food ingredients with a more focussed approach so we can
better meet our client's specific needs and offer them the right
ingredients for their success. Customers come to Fi Vietnam looking
to do business - they can see, touch, taste and smell food
ingredients, experience the latest technologies, and find solutions
to formulate products that meet consumer demands. Fi Vietnam is the
only route for the food ingredient industry to enter the lucrative
Vietnamese market efficiently."

Interest in the Vietnam region is at an all time high and its food
and beverage market is growing rapidly. This strong growth, coupled
with foreign and local investments, continuing urbanisation, busier
lifestyles and a young population has led to a steady projected
advancement of 9% forecasted for Vietnamese food consumption over the
next 5 years. According to BMI's Q1 2013 Vietnam Food & Drink Report,
per capita food consumption is forecast to grow at 8.4% annually up
until 2017, with soft drinks and alcoholic drinks growing by 13.7%
and 12.3% respectively during the same period. Fi Vietnam provides
the only platform for organisations wishing to capitalise on these
upward market trends in the unique, emerging destination, Vietnam.

UBM Asia's (Thailand) Business Director, Rungphech (Rose)
Chitanuwat further commented, "You will be amazed at what the show
can offer, including an unrivalled mix of food ingredient products
from leading suppliers. The onsite conference and seminar program
titled Enhancing Food Safety in Product Development with Food
Ingredients will keep you up to date about industry issues and macro
trends and the market outlook for the food ingredients industry. To
help you better understand consumers and identify growth
opportunities, there will be a session on consumer insights and
innovation that will impact marketing strategies, influence
consumers' emotions and thus their purchasing decisions."

With just over a month until Fi Vietnam opens its doors, make sure
you mark your calendar for 21 - 23 May 2014 for this key industry
event in the emerging destination of Vietnam. Further information and
registration details can be found on http://www.fi-vietnam.net.
