Mass retail chains, import/export firms, group purchasing organisations, wholesalers, organic retailers, catering firms, processing manufacturers.. in fact, all the professionals in search of fruit and vegetables will be in attendance at the only French event entirely dedicated to this sector and where market operators, processing, packaging, transport and logistics suppliers, service companies and start-ups will all be exhibiting.
