FIAAP, VICTAM & GRAPAS Asia 2014 has got bigger: in fact for the first time it is now totally booked, with no room for any more exhibitors; this also means that it is 20 per cent larger than the last successful event organised in Bangkok in 2012.

Visitors from throughout South, Southeast Asia and beyond will find more exhibitors, larger stands, more newly launched products and services and more solutions. Pre-registrations are already up on the last event in Bangkok, in 2012. Thailand lifted its state of emergency on Wednesday March 19, as tensions eased following weeks of anti-government protests, a further boost for the shows.

\"Whatever you need for your mill or plant ,you should find it here. Whether you have an animal or aqua feed mill, a rice mill, a flour mill, a grain processing plant, fish farm or a petfood processing plant these trade shows should have it -  and not on just one or two exhibition stands but many,  giving you a wide choice\", organizers said. \"You may be looking at ways of reducing your costs, through a number of ways, and so improve your bottom line. Here you will find solutions to your problems from the experts. Have a look at the online show catalogue and you will see (www.victam.com/?i=276); 8 – 10 April is when to be there and BITEC, Bangkok is the venue. 

Recent disturbances in Bangkok have now largely disappeared. The international airport, the business areas, the Sukhumvit hotel district, BITEC, and the transportation system is running smoothly, so it is back to “business as usual” in Bangkok.

Entry to the exhibitions is free. To register online as a visitor, go to www.victam.com/visreg.php
