Asiafruit Congress, Asia’s leading fresh produce business event, takes place on 7-9 September 2011 at Hong Kong's Convention and Exhibition Centre and promises to be even better than last year's event, which attracted over 500 top decision-makers from fresh produce businesses around the world.

Powered by Asiafruit Magazine and taking place alongside Asia Fruit Logistica, this year’s Asiafruit Congress programme has a strong retail and marketing focus that reflects Asia’s strong consumer base, with a number of leading speakers confirmed.

Effective retail marketing is key to attracting Asia’s discerning consumer. John Pandol from Pandol Brothers (US), whose rinse-and-serve grape container, Quick Rinse Cube, impressed the industry with its innovative design, will offer tips on retail marketing tactics that grow sales. John will be joined by ready-to-eat pioneer Nature's Pride's Shawn Harris (The Netherlands).

Fresh-cut produce is a relatively new emerging sector in Asia. Siebe van Wijk from The Fruit Republic (Vietnam) and CK Lai from Fresh-cut Produces (Hong Kong) will give first-hand insights into what’s happening on the ground and what opportunities there are in this potentially very lucrative sector.

Besides hearing from top-quality speakers, Asiafruit Congress offers unique and impressive networking opportunities – from an online networking tool that allows you to pre-plan your meetings before the event, to numerous networking breaks, lunches and a Welcome Reception, all of which aims to help delegates make the best possible business contacts to further their business in the Asian market.
