In its third edition, the Andean Pet Forum ( Foro Andino de Mascotas), organised by Zoo Inc, is established and consolidated as an important event for the petfood sector in Latin America.

This year the Andean Pet Forum attracted the attention of professionals from many countries throughout Latin America. Producers of balanced food for pets from Guatemala, Venezuela Colombia, Mexico, Argentina, Ecuador, Chile and Peru gathered to witness the new trends in the industry in terms of innovations, nutrition, health and sales strategies.

With more than 200 visitors, the event began, which featured leading exhibitors from the Machinery, Nutrition, Packaging, Palatants, etc., in addition to an enviable two-day conference program, where all topics were touched and much more.

Industry experts such as Ed de Souza de Wenger, Armando Enriquez from DSM, Cesar Sà from Diana Pet Food, ANDRES Cheltman from Euromonitor and Joge Jeri from Schenck Process, just to name a few, were the perfect amalgam to cover all issues from extrusion, up to nutrition, transportation and packaging of the final product

The Andean Pet Forum, as its organiser Diana Mercado said, is consolidating itself as one of the events to take into account in the petfood industry agenda, and what it seeks is to provide a space not only for networking, but to educate ourselves, learn and leave our comfort zone and thus evaluate what we can innovate in the future

The next edition will be held November 4-5, 2020 in Bogotá, Colombia.
