The reputation of FRUIT LOGISTICA as the world's leading international fresh produce trade fair has been underlined yet again this year by the presence of all market leaders, the industry’s top decision-makers and a new attendance record.

From 9 to 11 February, 2,452 exhibitors from 84 countries (2010: 2,314 from 71 countries) will be presenting a comprehensive overview of all levels of fruit and vegetable production and marketing. Exhibitors at this leading trade fair for the international fresh produce industry include all of the key global players as well as small and medium-sized companies within the international value chain.

Around 90% of the exhibitors are from outside Germany. Some 50,000 trade visitors from 130 countries are expected to attend the trade fair and accompanying conferences. This includes the industry's key decision makers, wholesale and retail trade buyers, fruit and vegetable growers and import-export business representatives.

The biggest contingents based on the number of exhibitors are from the European produce trading nations of Italy (437), Spain (296), the Netherlands (247), France (245) and Germany (241). Exhibitors from Bosnia-Herzegovina, Monaco, Nicaragua and Tanzania are present at the trade fair this year for the first time. The main focus in Halls 3.1 and 4.1 is on the machinery sector.
