Wanchai, Hong Kong (PRWEB) September 04, 2017 -- Seafood buyers looking for innovative fish and shellfish products to satisfy their customer’s demands will have more choice than ever when Seafood Expo Asia, organized by Diversified Communications, opens at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre this week from 5-7 September, 2017.

Thousands of international visitors which include retailers, importers, caterers, wholesalers, distributors, restauranteurs, hoteliers and chefs, will be able to source the most popular live, fresh, chilled, frozen and value-added seafood products from Asia and around the world.

This year’s exposition will feature over 230 exhibiting companies from 31 countries, with new participating countries including Djibouti, Dutch Caribbean, Falkland Islands, Morocco, Iceland, Mexico, Denmark and the Maldives.

The event also welcomes 21 regional and national pavilions with exhibits from Spain, France, South Korea, China and the Maldives, each showcasing their own unique, local premium produce to the seafood community.

“Seafood Expo Asia is the go-to event for industry buyers to source the products they need to keep up-to-date with market trends and demands,” says Event Director, Ms. Iris Kwan. “Given the favourable growth forecasts for Asia, increasing numbers of both buyers and suppliers are choosing Seafood Expo Asia as their primary trading platform for the Asian region.”

Frequently a popular attraction and often cited as one of the ‘must attend’ areas on the exhibition floor, Seafood Expo Asia’s Product Showcase has been given a fresh look for 2017.

Offering enhanced sourcing opportunities, the newly-designed Product Showcase will present exhibitor products in an open and engaging market-style setting. Industry buyers looking to expand and refresh their lines of seafood offerings will be inspired by new-to-market products, best sellers and the hottest trends from quality international suppliers, all in one convenient location.

Some of the seafood products that will be featured as part of this year’s Product Showcase are included below:

“In a post-event survey following our 2016 edition, 71% of visitors expressed that they had successfully identified new products and suppliers at Seafood Expo Asia,” concludes Ms. Kwan, while noting that for 2017 the exposition will bring international buyers even more opportunities to find all the seafood products they need to satisfy their customers’ growing appetites.
