Following a successful return, the world’s largest fruit and vegetable trade fair – Fruit Logistica – will host the industry’s largest gathering of buyers and trade visitors in Berlin from February 8 to 10, 2023.

Last April, despite pandemic restrictions, the event attracted over 40,000 buyers and trade visitors from around 130 countries, as well as over 2,000 exhibitors from 87 countries. Almost 90% of trade visitors said they planned to return. Because 79% of them held management positions and 85% were from outside the United States, the event was the best place to meet a truly global audience of decision-makers face to face.

It comes as no surprise, then, that companies from all over the world have already reserved exhibit space for Fruit Logistica 2023. With only a few weeks until the booking deadline on July 31, 2022, those exhibitors will have a guaranteed chance to promote themselves to a large audience, as well as a valuable opportunity to connect with the best in the business – all in one place.

“Fruit Logistica is important for us because our main stakeholders and market competitors are there, and we can promote our innovations. It’s great to be able to interact with people face to face again,” Santiago Patino Arevalo of Bayer Crop Science said.

Fruit Logistica also represents the best place to discover ideas and innovations that will help tackle the current economic crisis and secure new opportunities to grow, with so many people and companies from across the industry gathered in one location.

“I’m especially excited about new technologies that address the value chain from beginning to end,” Adegboyega Daniel Sodade of the sustainable trade association Coleacp mentioned.

The closing date for exhibitor applications is 31 July 2022.
