Taking place on 7-9 September 2011 at Hong Kong’s Convention and Exhibition Centre, this year's Asiafruit Congress will kick of with a high-powered Asian retail panel made up of four senior executives from major retail groups across the region.

Asia’s premier fresh produce conference event offers delegates first-rate insights into doing business in the world’s fastest growing market, and the Asian retail panel brings together an impressive range of retail experience and expertise.

John Glover of Metro Cash and Carry International (Asia), which is poised to enter the Indonesian market next year, will be on hand to discuss the group’s procurement and customer marketing activities in Asia, and he has 38 years of retail experience behind him.

Jean-Paul Khaou of Tesco Group Food Sourcing - Asia (China), who heads up the retail giant’s growing international sourcing business into and out of Asia, will bring his global sourcing expertise to bear on the discussion.

Delegates will also get a unique insight into what is happening on the local food retail scene from Shane Bourk, head of fresh foods for Dairy Farm Group/Wellcome Supermarkets (Hong Kong), which operates the Wellcome supermarket chain, one of Hong Kong’s largest, as well as upmarket retail banners such as Jason’s Marketplace and ThreeSixty.

Bringing an expert perspective on high-end retailing, meanwhile, is Nick Reitmeier, vice-president of buying, perishable produce, international food, wine and own brand for Central Food Retail (Thailand). With more than 24 years' experience in fine food retailing, Mr Reitmeier heads up all fresh food for Central Food Retail, which operates the Tops supermarket chain and Central Food Halls in Thailand.

Join these speakers and network with some 500 fresh produce professionals at Asiafruit Congress ready to do business.
