FRUIT LOGISTICA 2026: Three Days, One Industry, Unlimited Growth

From 4 to 6 February 2026, Berlin will once again become the global home of the fresh produce industry. FRUIT LOGISTICA – the world’s largest and most international trade fair for fresh fruit and vegetables – will gather more than 2,500 exhibitors from nearly 90 countries, presenting innovations, technologies, and trends that are shaping the future of the global fresh produce market.

A Global Meeting Point with Purpose

The 2025 edition brought together 91,000 industry professionals from 151 countries, with more than 95% recommending the show to others. FRUIT LOGISTICA stands out not only through its scale but through its unmistakable momentum – intense business meetings, long-standing partnerships, and spontaneous conversations that spark new ideas.

This year’s guiding theme, Let’s grow!, reflects a shared drive for technological, economic, and sustainable progress across the supply chain. As Director Alexander Stein emphasizes:

“Let’s grow is much more than a slogan – it embodies our collective ambition to embrace innovation and build the future of this industry together.”

The strongest exhibitor representation will come from Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Germany, and France, while participation from Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, and Africa continues to expand.
