Thaifex Anuga Asia is the largest food fair in Thailand. It's an important meeting point for importers and exporters of food, including seafood, to the whole of Southeast Asia.
The Norwegian Seafood Council is hosting a joint pavilion for Norwegian seafood at the Thaifex fair, providing an opportunity for Norwegian exporters to rent space for their own stands or tables, if needed.
With 20 Norwegian exporters already confirmed, the pavilion is almost fully booked and as a result, we have decided to expand the pavilion to accommodate more participants.
