Looking back at Fruit Logistica 2019

A surface area of more than 124,000 m², 3,200 exhibitors from 80+ countries and more than 78,000 visitors were present at the largest and most important trade fair of the global AgroFood trade: the Fruit Logistica in Berlin. The Netherlands was one of the biggest players at the fair with no less than 321 participants. Limburg was represented by no fewer than 31 companies.

New innovations

This year there was a lot of attention for new forms of packaging. A specific Limburg example of a new product is the food package of ZON. In cooperation with Unilever they introduced a fresh food package especially for the German market, where each package contains at least 200 grams of vegetables per person.

Fruit Logistica

The fair offers a complete picture of the latest innovations, products and services for each link in the international supply chain within the sector. Many producers, traders, growers, importers, exporters, grower associations, seed companies and marketing organizations met again. During the Fruit Logistica, it is relevant to promote the Limburg Agrofood sector and increase knowledge and networking. Sharing knowledge and inspiration with colleagues was also the reason that ZON fruit & vegetables from Venlo and the Province of Limburg organized a Captains Dinner for managers and decision makers for the first time.

The fair can be visited by everyone or it is possible to participate with your own stand. Next year's Fruit Logistica Berlin will take place on February 5-7, 2020.
