DLG International today announced the postponement of the EuroTier Middle East to 7th-9th June 2021. DLG International and Multibridge Event Management, the organizers of the trade fair, in close coordination with the Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority (ADAFSA), strategic partner of EuroTier Middle East, have taken the difficult decision to postpone the trade fair. This is due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and the resulting travel and social distancing regulations.
 
EuroTier Middle East 2021, the most comprehensive trade fair offering livestock solutions and expertise to the Middle East region, will now take place on 7th-9th June 2021 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC), United Arab Emirates. The trade fair was originally scheduled to take place on 8th-10th March 2021 at the same location.
 
“After careful consideration and in consultation with our key stakeholders we regret to announce the postponement of the exhibition. Our exhibitors praise EuroTier Middle East as the platform where key decision makers in the animal production industry meet and naturally we want to continue to maintain that standard and value we deliver to our customers.
 
"EuroTier Middle East is home to, among others, the ‘Top Breed Market', which is the largest indoor live animal show and auction in the region. The previous edition of the trade fair featured 6500 live animals along with 175 breeders. To provide a similar experience in March is simply not possible while maintaining the safety and wellbeing of our stakeholders and staff. We are postponing the trade fair and plan to use this time to prepare and ensure our customers get the same high quality trade fair experience when the trade fair returns in June,” said Bernd Koch, Managing Director of DLG International GmbH.
 
In addition to the Top Breed Market, EuroTier Middle East 2021 will be packed with new features such as the new Middle East edition of the World Poultry Show, as well as an innovative Aquaculture Zone and a German Pavilion featuring for the first time.
 
EuroTier Middle East is organized by the DLG along with its partners Multibridge Event Management and Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority (ADAFSA) with the aim of bringing together the global animal farming industry under one roof to showcase the latest in technology, innovation and know-how tailored to the Middle Eastern and regional market. EuroTier Middle East is held as part of a series that include EuroTier China which takes place on alternating locations in China. The two trade fairs are regional extensions of the main EuroTier trade fair that takes place in Hanover, Germany. The next edition of EuroTier will take place online as EuroTier digital, 9th-12th February 2021.
