Whether it is imports, exports or domestic consumption, Asia remains the dynamic growth driver for the international fresh produce trade. Collective fresh fruit imports by key Asian markets from all sources both within and outside Asia have expanded by some 250 per cent over the past 20 years, reaching almost ten million tonnes in 2014, according to the 2015 edition of the Asiafruit Congress Statistics Handbook.
Meanwhile, exports to all destinations – mostly in and around Asia – have increased 350 per cent to nine million tonnes over the past two decades. China remains the region’s growth engine. In 2014 alone, China’s fresh fruit imports increased by some 24 per cent, led by double-digit growth in banana and dragon fruit imports. But other markets across Asia such as India, South Korea and Vietnam are also seeing impressive year-on-year increases in fresh fruit imports.
Back in September
Exhibiting at ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA offers companies the access to the opportunities in these rapidly emerging markets. Asia’s only dedicated fresh fruit and vegetable trade show is back on 7-9 September this year at AsiaWorld-Expo in Hong Kong.
Strong interest
A record 9,200 trade visitors from 70 different countries attended ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA 2015. More than two-thirds of these visitors came from Asia, demonstrating the strong interest and engagement in the show from trade professionals across the region.
Serious contacts
“I have been able to meet all the clients with whom we trade,” one of the exhibitors said. “I’ve also made many new contacts, not only from big markets like China and India, but also prospects from the Middle East – such is the breadth of the event. These are serious contacts we can convert into business.”
