On Day One, which focuses on Production and Trade, Andriy Yarmak from the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation will offer his expert perspective on opportunities for Eastern European exports to Asia. “Ukraine should pay particular attention to fruit marketing opportunities in South East Asia,” says Yarmak.
