Upcoming Trade Show!!! (Registration deadline: November 5) ?? ?? ?? The European fresh produce consumption market is expected to steadily grow, driven by increasing demand for healthier food options and the growing popularity of sustainability-produced fruit and vegetables. The demand for year-round availability and a wide choice of produce is keeping Europe dependent on external suppliers. In 2023, a total value of almost 14 million USD of fresh fruits and fresh vegetables has been exported to the EU and the UK. Overall, the European fresh produce consumption market is expected to remain strong, with consumers increasingly prioritizing health and sustainability when it comes to their food choices. This trend is likely to drive further innovation and growth in the market, as producers and retailers seek to meet the evolving demands of consumers. Fruit Logistica is known as the biggest worldwide event for the fresh produce sector, presenting a wide display of the newest innovations, products, and services throughout the global supply chain. Thus, it offers superb networking and contact opportunities to the key decision-makers in every sector of the industry. Fruit Logistica does not only cover the large German market for fresh produce but other countries within Europe, and the Middle East as well.
