FRESH2010

FRESH, Europe’s leading fresh fruit and vegetable conference organised by Eurofruit Magazine and Freshfel Europe, comes to Russia on 13-15 April 2010.

St. Petersburg is the location of choice for the first visit of FRESH to Russia. The two-day conference and expo takes place at the Corinthia Hotel, the new five-star business and conference hotel on St Petersburg’s famous Nevsky Prospect in the heart of this fabulous city.

Russia has become the leading buyer of fresh produce from suppliers all over the world in recent years. Its consumer market has changed dramatically and new changes are on the horizon as incomes grow and more food is sold through the leading supermarkets. There are many exciting opportunities for everyone in the fresh fruit and vegetable sector to develop their business in the Russian market. Network with over 250 buyers and suppliers from Russia and the rest of the world at FRESH in St Petersburg.

This year’s FRESH programme focuses on the major issues of importance to the Russian fresh fruit and vegetable business. What are the emerging trends in the Russian market? How have the last 12 months affected sales of fruits and vegetables in Russia? How is the consumer market changing and what does it mean for exporters and local retailers? How will Russia’s emergence as a supplier of fresh fruit and vegetables affect demand for international products? New opportunities to market to Russian consumers, new supply challenges to the Russia market and logistical opportunities for success in supplying Russia will all come under the microscope at FRESH.
