These include major companies and organisations from the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Chile, Argentina, Peru, South Africa, Egypt, Turkey, France, Italy, Spain Netherlands, Belgium, Greece, Germany, Austria, and the UK. 

“China is set to be the largest single country at ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA again this year,” explained Gérald Lamusse, managing director of Global Produce Events GmbH, which organises the event. “It demonstrates that Hong Kong is the ideal location for ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA, both as a hub for the Asian region as a whole and as a access point to the China market.”

The official online ticket shop gives you the chance to buy your entrance tickets at reduced rates and to gain special online discounts to Asiafruit Congress, Asia’s only fresh produce conference event which runs alongside ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA.

Two-thirds of all visitors come from Asia, with over 80 per cent of all visitors in key buying roles in their companies or organisations. Almost nine out of 10 visitors have a positive overall impression of the event.
