ABOUT THE EVENT

6TH AHCAB INTERNATIONAL EXPO 2026

The AHCAB International Expo has a proud legacy of promoting animal health, welfare, and sustainable protein production in Bangladesh. Over the years, it has become a landmark event, connecting global and local stakeholders, fostering innovation, and driving industry growth.

This year’s theme highlights the vital connection between animal health and national development. Healthy fish and livestock ensure a safe, nutritious, and affordable supply of protein, directly addressing malnutrition while supporting the well-being and cognitive development of future generations. At the same time, healthier fish and animals mean stronger rural economy—helping farmers raise productivity, increase incomes, create jobs, and build more resilient communities, in line with Bangladesh’s vision of inclusive growth and poverty reduction.

Beyond food and livelihoods, healthy pet animals provide a range of physical, emotional and even economic benefits to humans. Strong veterinary practices and biosecurity reduce the risk of zoonotic diseases, protecting people and the environment. Aligned with the One Health approach, which recognizes the interdependence of human, animal, and environmental health, this year’s theme also reflects Bangladesh’s ambition to expand trade, boost exports, and position itself as a competitive player in the regional and global markets.
