BanaBay secures new contracts at Fruit Logistica

It took Ecuadorian banana brand BanaBay Ltd just three days to secure three significant contracts at Fruit Logistica (5th-7th February), two in Italy and one in Poland, with many more being negotiated in the aftermath.

The 3 day event in Berlin generated 90 different opportunities from over 20 countries across 3 continents and Mark O’Sullivan, BanaBay’s MD has been overwhelmed by the response: “It was our first time at the event so to pick up business from day one was phenomenal. But now of course the hard work begins, both in our new business and also to secure those further contracts.”

As well as overseas interest, Emma Tomlinson, Business Development Manager at BanaBay reported a promising response from the UK market with several significant enquiries which could lead to sales of plantains and organic bananas. Emma commented: “I am extremely pleased with the potential growth of our newest product lines being introduced in this country.”

Fruit Logistica, the leading international fresh produce trade fair hosted 2,600 exhibitors and attracted 62,000 trade visitors from 141 countries. The boost in sales enquiries for the Ecuadorian fruit producer and importer comes at just the right time for BanaBay which has just moved to larger UK premises and made several new staff appointments.
