Visitors to Asia's only regional trade fair and congress event in Hong Kong in September can now register online and take advantage of preferential rates on their ticket fees. 'Our trade visitor canvassing and promotion campaign is now in full swing on all five continents,' explained Gérald Lamusse, managing director Global Produce Events GmbH, which organises ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA.

ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA attracts top buyers and fresh produce trade professionals from across Asia and the rest of the world. They come to ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA to source new products, new suppliers, new technologies and to see where the market is heading. Visitors to this year¹s event will find some 250 exhibitors from around the world.

ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA takes place alongside Asiafruit Congress, Asia's only conference event for the Asian fresh produce business. It has been held in Asia every year since the mid-1990s. The Asiafruit Congress, which is organised by Asiafruit Magazine, alone attracts over 600 delegates from all over the world.

'The Asiafruit Congress is the leading conference event for the fresh produce business in Asia,' explained John Hey, Asiafruit Magazine's editor who is also in charge of the Asiafruit Congress conference programme. 'The conference provides delegates with a great opportunity to keep up with the key changes in the Asia market as well as excellent networking with other attendees.'

ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA visitors and Asiafruit Congress delegates can also take advantage of special rates at more than 20 business hotels in Hong Kong. They are all located close to the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) and in price categories to accommodate all budgets.

'Together, ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA and the Asiafruit Congress bring together the highest concentration of top quality professionals from the Asian fresh fruit and vegetable business,' said Mr Lamusse. 'Your attendance at our joint event could be your single most important investment in Asia this year!'

Trade visitors from 57 countries attended ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA in Hong Kong in September 2008. More than 3,500 top-level trade buyers from Asia and the rest of the world are expected at this year's event. ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA and the Asiafruit Congress take place on 2-4 September 2009 at the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre.
