Uzbekistan will be represented at Asia Fruit Logistica for the first time.

Fresh Green Agro (FGA) will make the journey from the doubly land-locked Central Asian state to Hong Kong for the three-day show in Hong Kong from 5-7 September.

"Our main aim in participating at Asia Fruit Logistica 2012 is to establish new partnerships with Asian countries and increase our stable partners in this market," said Murat Kurshu, vice-president of FGA.

"We believe attending such a prestigious trade show will open doors in Asia for us." FGA specialises in cherries, pomegranates, persimmon, melons, grapes, apricots and fresh herbs.
