To the tune of 50 exhibitors will exhibit their products such as craft spirits, craft beers and cider. To this end the complete special show will move to Hall 7.0 so that ProWein will have an additional hall at its disposal. Organised by a publishing house the “fizzz craft Lounge” – the hot spot for barmen – was also drawn to the “same but different” hall – so the internation- al bar and hospitality scene will al- so find a perfect setting here. Furthermore, the organic wine area in Hall 13 of ProWein will become bigger and more com- prehensive. Here trade visitors will find all relevant organic asso- ciations from Germany, Italy and France as well as numerous indi- vidual exhibitors from through- out the world. Also charted for growth is the special show Or- ganic World. For ProWein 2018 some 40 international exhibitors will come together here. The or- ganic area will be rounded off by a matching catering concept – the Organic Lounge – as well as a dedicated lecture area. Hall 9 will also boast an extended and di- verse line-up of ranges as now all exhibitors from overseas will be presented here. Overseas groups, such as those from Australia, Ar- gentina, Chile, Canada, New Zea- land, South Africa and the USA, will see particularly large increas- es. ProWein open its doors from 18 – 20 March in Düsseldorf. This year, the special show “same but different” will move to Hall 7.0.

Asia’s diverse and rap- idly developing markets present some of the most exciting opportunities. Asia Fruit Logistica is a place to access those oppor- tunities and expand your business in 2018. Asia’s premier continental trade show for fresh fruit and vegetable marketing returns to Hong Kong’s AsiaWorld-Expo Center on 5-7 September – and it promises to be the biggest and best edition to date. Exhibitors are advised to register now to secure their space. Application forms can be download- ed from the Asia Fruit Logistica website and applications should be made before the 28 February deadline. More than 13,000 high-quality visitors from 76 different countries attended last year’s Asia Fruit Logistica. More than three quar- ters of those visitors came from Asia, rep- resenting 20 different markets across the Asia-Pacific region. Exhibitor numbers in- creased by more than 150, with a total of 813 exhibitors from 43 different countries taking part. Feeding demand Asia Fruit Logistica’s growth reflects the exciting expansion of fresh produce mar- kets across Asia. Affluent consumers are demanding higher quality fruit and veg- etables on a year-round basis and supply chain partners are rising to the challenge of delivering fresh produce to half the world’s population. Asian markets have ramped up their im- ports of temperate fruits such as grapes, citrus, apples and stonefruit from South- ern Hemisphere supplying countries over recent years, and the trend looks set to continue in 2018. Take Chilean cherries: as of early January, the industry has already exported a record volume of 150,000 tonnes in 2017/18, with several weeks of the season still to go. Almost 90 per cent of those ex- ports have gone to Asia, where China ac- counts for 94 per cent of shipments. But it’s not just Chilean cherry exports to China that are breaking records. The value of Australia’s fresh fruit exports exceeded the AUS$1bn-mark in the 12 months to Sep- tember 2017 for the first time. The record result has been driven by citrus and table grape shipments to China, with a flow-on effect for other products and markets. Newer-to-market products Asia’s trade in tropical fruits – be it bananas or pineapples, or durian or dragon fruit – re- mains dominated by intra-Asia trade routes, but buyers have been looking further afield to Latin America to secure more supplies. Meanwhile, newer-to-market products such as avocados, blueberries and western pears are gaining traction in Asia as suppliers from Europe, North America and other parts of the world step up marketing efforts to build demand among consumers not previously exposed to these products. Background Last year, Asia Fruit Logistica attracted more than 13,000 trade visitors from 76 different countries pouring through the doors of AsiaWorld-Expo in Hong Kong. Some 70 per cent of visitors came from Asia, with 20 different markets across the Asia-Pacific region represented. The main origins in terms of visitors were China, Hong Kong, India, Taiwan, Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, New Zealand, Japan and Australia.
