Information-packed programme at ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA

4 July 2023

ASIAFRUIT CONGRESS and ASIAFRUIT BUSINESS FORUM deliver unrivalled combination of high-level insights and practical takeaways.

Visitors and exhibitors at ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA can look forward to a wide-ranging event programme packed with information and insights.

ASIAFRUIT CONGRESS and ASIAFRUIT BUSINESS FORUM take place on the show floor across two stages, with both events free to attend for all ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA ticketholders.

ASIAFRUIT CONGRESS is back with a top-quality programme covering the latest market trends and opportunities in Asia. Asia’s premier fresh produce conference takes place on the main stage across all three days of ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA on 6-8 September 2023.

Day One focuses on Marketing & Consumers. High-level speakers analyse Asia’s new market demographics and look at what’s next for food retail across the region. Plus, a masterclass in fresh produce marketing brings together leading brand marketers to discuss the keys to a successful campaign.

Tech & Innovation is the theme for Day Two at ASIAFRUIT CONGRESS. AI is powering new solutions for the fresh produce trade. Case studies demonstrate how AI is improving processes and look at how it might shape the future of the business. In a session on varietal innovation, global fruit breeders and marketers also explain how new cultivars are driving growth in Asia across several categories.

Day Three homes in on Markets & Trade. Thought leaders look at the way the global fresh produce business does its trade, and they explain how technology and sustainability are giving rise to new models of working. An expert panel discusses China’s changing distribution landscape, plus a spotlight on North Asia looks at market opportunities in Japan and Korea.
