Asia Fruit Logistica 2016
ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA is the only annual international trade exhibition for fresh fruit and vegetable marketing in Asia which focuses exclusively on the fresh produce sector and related value chain for the whole Asian region.
This makes it the most efficient platform in Asia for gaining an overview of the market, scouting for new products and varieties, and establishing new business contacts in this sector.
ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA offers unparalleled opportunities for you to find out what is happening in the rapidly changing world of fresh produce, make new business contacts and help you grow your business.
The tenth edition of Asia Fruit Logistica took place in Hong Kong on the 7th, 8th and 9th of September and according to The FreshPlaza, with a 22% growth in visitor numbers and more than 11,000 industry professionals from 74 different countries attending the trade show. Exhibition space expanded by 18% on last year. Altogether, some 665 companies from 37 different countries exhibited their products and services at the trade fair, an increase of almost 100 on the 2015 edition.
As always the South Africans presence was felt with most companies choosing to do business from the South African stand, and I am delighted to say FarmDirect was part of that.
For us it is essential to attend these trade shows in order to spend as much possible face-time with our fruit-friends, all under one roof.
We believe it was very fruitful for all South Africans attending. We cannot wait to meet up again at the Berlin Fruit Logistica in 2017.
