FIFSTA Meeting – September 25, 2025
On September 25, 2025, the Federation of Institutes of Food Science and Technology in ASEAN (FIFSTA) convened its official meeting alongside the 18th ASEAN Food Conference in Davao City, Philippines. The session was graced by international partners including representatives from the Taiwan Association for Food Science and Technology (TAFTS), the Australian Institute of Food Science and Technology (AIFST), and Prof. Aman Wirakartakusumah, Immediate Past President of IUFoST.
This meeting was particularly significant as it marked the conclusion of the term of FIFSTA President Ms. Julieta Austria, whose leadership formally ended on September 25. Under her tenure, FIFSTA strengthened regional collaboration, expanded partnerships with international organizations, and enhanced the federation’s role in advancing food science and technology across ASEAN.
The supreme authority of FIFSTA is vested in the General Meeting, which is presided over by the Chairman. The Board of FIFSTA is composed of presidents from various associations across ASEAN. The Chairman, who is elected every two years, is typically from the host country of the upcoming conference. For the 2024-2025 term, the Chairman is Ms. Juliet Austria, President of the Philippine Association of Food Technologists Inc. (PAFT).
