Fresh Business Expo Ukraine

Fresh Business Expo Ukraine, which took place from 29 November – 1 December, welcomed 3.623 trade visitors and 125 companies from 10 countries worldwide participated in the event occupying some 2.500 m2.

Once again the exhibition has proven to be a great additional marketing tool for companies to establish and strengthen the necessary business in Ukraine and other CIS Countries.

This year the exhibition welcomed official country participations from The Netherlands (FoodTechLink Pavilion and the AGF Promotion Business Lounge), Greece (Union of Greek Kiwi Producers) and Italy (Italian Institute of Foreign Trade). Furthermore the exhibition welcomed a collective pavilion from UkrSadProm, which hosted more than 20 Ukrainian growers of fruit & berries.

Fresh Business Expo is the largest Ukrainian fresh produce industry event where leading growers, traders, supermarket chains, exporters, processors as well as input and equipment suppliers meet and do business.  

One of the key success factors of the exhibition was once again the conference “Fruits & Vegetables of Ukraine”, which was successfully organized by Fruit Inform within the framework of the exhibition.

The conference and exhibition attracted high quality visitors such as; leading growers, traders, key supermarket buyers, importers, exporters, processors as well as input and equipment suppliers.

The next edition of Fresh Business Expo is scheduled for 5-7 December 2017 and will once again take place in the International Exhibition Centre (IEC) in Kiev.
