Bifga is pleased with the excellent positioning if its stand in the Marden Pavilion, and hopes to entice as many visitors as possible with samples of fruit and an expanding range of fruit juices.

Judi Perry, Bifga secretary, said she 'would welcome a visit on the stand from those retailers who are looking to increase their supplier base for local produce'.

Additionally, Bifga plans to hold a technical day in the new conference centre at HRI East Malling, Kent on February 12, 2003. More information on the day, which is also open to non-members, will be available soon.
