Fruit Logistica relaunched after a one-year, pandemic-induced break, bringing together over 40,000 quality buyers and trade visitors from around 130 countries, and more than 2,000 exhibitors from 87 countries.
It was back to business from 5 to 7 April 2022 when Berlin turned into the capital of the global fresh fruit industry for three days. More than 2,000 exhibitors presented their products, services, and technical solutions to over 40,000 buyers and trade visitors.
"Preparations for this year's Fruit Logistica were intense," says Kai Mangelberger, Director at Fruit Logistica . "And we, the organisers, weren't the only ones facing obstacles. This is why I would like to thank all exhibitors and trade visitors who made the trip to Berlin. They were rewarded with very good business deals. And everyone who could not make it is welcome to come by next year."
Fruit Logistica in April is a one time exception. Next year, Fruit Logistica will return to its original date in February. Save the date: 8 to 10 February 2023.
Both the exhibitors and the trade visitors reported a positive experience at Fruit Logistica. This is reflected in the preliminary results of the exhibitor and trade visitor survey.
The exhibitors reported lively business during the three days of the trade show: Over 40% have conducted successful business deals during the trade show. More than 4 out of 5 exhibitors also expect satisfactory to very good post-show business.
According to the organisers over 80% of exhibitors are already planning on taking part in Fruit Logistica 2023.
Despite uncertainty in planning as a result of the pandemic, more than 40% of the trade visitors at Fruit Logistica this year were first-time visitors. The proportion of international trade visitors, at well over 80%, was also at the usual, high level.
