gathering, the INFOFISH World Tuna Trade Conference and Exhibition. TUNA 2012 will be held from 23-25 May at the Shangri-La Hotel. Undoubtedly, Bangkok is among the most suitable venues to accommodate this large biennial tuna industry event where around 600 delegates, perhaps even more this time, will gather from all over the world.

angkok, dubbed the global tuna industry capital, has been chosen again to host the largest tuna industry

THE CONFERENCE
Much has happened in the tuna sector over the past few years. The struggling US economy, debt crisis in the Eurozone and the impact of the tsunami in Japan last March have dented consumers confidence, thus significantly affecting the tuna industry and the global market. Acquisition and consolidation among the major tuna companies continue in response to the increasingly competitive and ever changing business environment. Controversy surrounding the MSC certification for free schooling skipjack in the PNA waters, aggressive and provocative campaigns by certain environmentalists, commitment by supermarkets and packers in the UK to sell only tuna from pole and line and FADfree sources, new management measures enforced by RFMOs etc are among the issues that have shaped and shaken the global tuna industry. In short, the industry is currently facing unprecedented challenges that need to be addressed effectively towards a stronger, bullish industry. TUNA 2012 is certainly the best platform for all the industry players to openly discuss these issues. The three-day conference will focus on the latest developments in the global and regional tuna industries. Issues on resources, fisheries management, markets and marketing, products and quality developments, new technology, trade and food safety as well as sustainability, eco-labelling and environment will be adequately covered.

THE EXHIBITION
In conjunction with TUNA 2012, an exhibition will also be held at the same venue. Booths will be available for rental by companies and organizations to showcase their products, equipment, machinery and services related to the industry. Bookings are on a first come, first served basis as the number of booths is limited to 25 only.

THE ORGANISERS
TUNA 2012 is jointly organized by INFOFISH, GLOBEFISH-Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC), Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC), Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC), World Tuna Purse-Seine Organization (WTPO), Thai Food Processors Association (TFPA), the Department of Fisheries-Thailand and Atuna.com.
