The third Freskon left its 'seal’ on the fresh fruit and vegetable sector, serving as a point of reference and meeting place for producers and international retail groups, as well as domestic and international transporters of fresh fruit and vegetables.
According to HELEXPO, "The considerable sway of the trade show was demonstrated by its increased visitor numbers, translated into approximately 4,000 individuals during the period of 27-29 April, marking a 10% increase over last year’s event. This year’s Freskon proved that, each year, it is edging ever closer to its initial goal: the development of exports, the extroversion of Greek enterprises and the promotion of Greek fruit."
