Thailand Hosts Asia’s Conference on the Future of Starch, Fermentation and Food Innovation

Industry leaders meet in Bangkok to discuss sustainable starch, fermentation, AI-driven food innovation and Asia’s growing biobased economy.

BANGKOK, THAILAND, February 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ --
As Asia’s food and ingredient industries accelerate toward sustainability and innovation, industry leaders will convene in Bangkok for the 14th Asia Starch Value Chain & Fermentation, a two-day conference examining how starch, fermentation and biotechnology are reshaping the region’s food and industrial landscape

Thailand, one of the world’s largest producers of tapioca starch, is emerging as a strategic hub for value-added, clean-label and biobased ingredient development. The conference opens with a keynote by Dr. Dusit Pittayathikhun, President of the Thai Tapioca Starch Association, who will outline Thailand’s vision for a resilient starch value chain built on sustainable cassava farming, industry collaboration and advanced processing.

Industry and research leaders will address regional cassava supply trends, market volatility, and climate challenges, followed by a panel discussion on the future of the cassava starch industry, exploring how producers are moving beyond commodity markets into higher-value and specialty applications.

The programme highlights innovation across ingredient development, including functional fibres, texturising solutions and clean-label starch applications for food and pharmaceutical markets. Sustainability is a key theme, with sessions showcasing how agricultural by-products can be upcycled into commercial ingredients, supporting circular economy models and reducing food loss.

Day Two focuses on fermentation and future food, including plant-based beverages, fermented ingredient applications, and a forward-looking panel discussion on transforming the future of food, addressing AI-enabled flavour innovation and the rise of fermentation-based alternative proteins.

Participants may also join a separately bookable post-conference site visit to the Thailand Future Food Hub, offering insight into the country’s growing agri-food-biotechnology ecosystem and collaboration opportunities with startups and technology providers.

The conference provides a strategic platform for executives, innovators and investors to exchange insights, identify partnerships and engage with decision-makers shaping Asia’s next phase of ingredient and food innovation.
