Asia Fruit Logistica

The online ticket shop for Asia Fruit Logistica, Asia’s leading trade show for the fresh fruit and vegetable business, is now open.Visitors who purchase their tickets online can make savings of up to 35 per cent on their entrance fee compared with tickets purchased on the door.

Asia Fruit Logistica - Asia’s only dedicated fresh fruit and vegetable trade fair – is the place to meet and do business with the widest range of high-level industry professionals from across the world, according to event organisers Global Produce Events.

“Asia Fruit Logistica is the produce show for Asia, and since our organisation’s focus is on international markets, we need to be here,” said Rebecca Lyons, international marketing director of the Washington Apple Commission, at last year’s event. “Asia Fruit Logistica also provides an excellent platform for our shippers to meet one-on-one with Asian receivers.”

A record 6,536 buyers and trade visitors from 64 nations poured through the doors of Asia Fruit Logistica 2013 at Hong Kong’s AsiaWorld-Expo Center. Visitor survey results again underlined the high quality of the attendees, with 89 per cent of them being closely involved in their companies’ purchasing and decision-making processes.

Asia Fruit Logistica 2014, which takes place on 3-5 September, is shaping up to be even bigger. With around five months to go before the doors open, exhibitor registrations have already equalled last year’s levels, with companies from 32 different countries signed up to showcase their products and services.

Visitors can make it a working week in Hong Kong by purchasing a full access pass, which includes delegate entry to Asiafruit Congress on 2 September as well as a three-day pass to Asia Fruit Logistica.

Taking place the day before Asia Fruit Logistica, Asiafruit Congress is the unique one-conference programme for top executives in Asia’s fresh produce business. The conference also hosts the presentation of the Asia Fruit Awards, and concludes with the joint Asiafruit Congress-Asia Fruit Logistica Welcome Reception on the eve of Asia Fruit Logistica.Other ticket options are also available, including three-day and one-day passes for Asia Fruit Logistica.

“Coming to Asiafruit Congress and Asia Fruit Logistica is very important for us because they give us two different things,” said José Antonio Gomez, chief commercial officer of leading Peruvian grower-exporter Camposol, at last year’s event. “Asiafruit Congress is a great opportunity to hear from expert speakers what is going on in the region – the changes and trends – as well as learning about strategic issues. It also enables us to network and make some real quality leads that we can work on during the exhibition.
