Face to face: Fruit Logistica 2022
The leading trade fair for the global fruit trade, which will take place in Berlin from February 9th to 11th as a face-to-face event, reports a high number of registrations and a high level of internationality.
From February 9 to 11, 2022, the time has finally come: Fruit Logistica, the world’s leading trade fair for the fruit and vegetable industry, will once again take place as a face-to-face event in Berlin. In addition to the triad of fresh inspiration, the best information and new business opportunities, Fruit Logistica 2022 will give the industry a glimpse into the future and provide answers to the question of how the fruit trade will develop in the medium and long term.
Kai Mangelberger, acting project manager of Fruit Logistica “The desire for personal encounters at a physical event is huge, precisely because it has not been possible for so long. We know that some companies have been hesitant to sign up. But this reluctance has steadily decreased because international trade fair venues, including Berlin, show that face-to-face events can take place again. We are very far with the planning and today sent our exhibitors their placement offers. “
The number of registered exhibitors for Fruit Logistica 2022 is already at a comparable level to the last event and the internationality with companies from 68 countries is also very positive. “Based on the previous registration status, we are expecting well over 2,000 exhibitors for Fruit Logistica 2022,” says Kai Mangelberger. Even if the strongest participation comes from Europe, Central and South America are also very strongly represented. But Fruit Logistica 2022 will not only be very international. In more than 25 halls, exhibitors from the entire value chain of fresh fruit and vegetables will present themselves, from the producer to the point of sale, including the key players in the industry.

“In the last 18 months we have learned that it is possible to hold international meetings from your desk. But we have also learned that they cannot replace the pleasure and immediacy of a face-to-face conversation. We look forward to exhibiting at Fruit Logistica because it is the world’s most comprehensive event for the fruit and vegetable industry, ”says Rita Biserni, responsible for international marketing at the Italian exhibitor Alegra. Bert Haffmans, Managing Director of the Dutch exhibitor Sormac, adds: “We can finally meet again in person at one of the largest events for fruit and vegetables, Fruit Logistica. The world of freshness comes back together. We can’t wait to meet our existing customers and new customers,
