ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA reaffirmed its position as Asia’s leading international trade event for the fresh fruit and vegetable industry with another dynamic, fully booked exhibition in Hong Kong from 4-6 September 2024.
The event drew over 13,000 trade visitors from more than 70 countries and regions. Attendees had the opportunity to explore an impressive range of cutting-edge products and services from over 760 exhibitors representing 42 countries and regions.
David Axiotis, managing director of Global Produce Events, the event organizer, expressed his enthusiasm for ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA 2024’s success. He highlighted the exceptional participation from global exhibitors, visitors, and industry leaders, emphasizing the event’s unparalleled energy, innovation, and business growth opportunities.
Visitor and exhibitor surveys confirmed the event’s triumph. The first two days were particularly bustling, with extended hours on the second day due to a storm warning that delayed the final day’s opening. However, the extended hours at AsiaWorld-Expo on the last day (until 19:00) allowed for continued productive meetings.
Over 97% of visitors rated their overall impression of ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA 2024 as “good” or “very good,” with 96% saying they would recommend colleagues or business partners to exhibit next year. Similarly, 95.5% of exhibitors rated the event as “good” or “very good.”
The exhibition featured 28 national or regional pavilions, including first-time pavilions from India, Indonesia, Tanzania, and Kyrgyzstan. China remained the largest exhibiting nation, with a 12% increase in exhibitor numbers compared to 2023. Other top exhibiting countries included Australia, the USA, Egypt, and New Zealand.
Participants praised the event’s global and regional reach. Vivian Wang, marketing director of Dole China, described ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA as the most influential trade show for the industry in Asia, noting its importance for efficient engagement with high-quality suppliers and its growing influence in China.
