    JD.com and Yiguo to exhibit at Asia Fruit Logistica

    Exhibitors from close to 40 different countries have already signed up to showcase their products and services at ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA 2018.

    Asia’s premier continental trade show for fresh fruit and vegetable marketing returns to AsiaWorld-Expo in Hong Kong on 5-7 September, and it is on course for significant growth.

    Bookings for stand space are up by more than 30 per cent on this stage last year. That brings them close to the total exhibition space booked for 2017, with more than five months to go before this year’s edition opens its doors.

    China’s two leading online food retail platforms will both be exhibiting at ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA for the first time.

    E-commerce giant JD.com, which has been selling fresh food online since 2012, offers a wide range of products, sourcing from over 2,000 partners worldwide. The group also recently ventured into physical stores, with its high-tech New Retail format 7Fresh.

    “ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA is a world-class fresh produce event, and JD.com must be part of it,” said James Ye, president of JD.com’s fresh division. “We look forward to getting together with industry leaders and specialists and discussing supply chain solutions for the fresh e-commerce sector as we work to bring healthy and safe products from around the globe to our online consumers.”

    Alibaba-invested fresh food e-tailer Yiguo is also making its debut appearance at ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA, showcasing its new supply chain platform.

    “Yiguo Group has been able to meet many fruit supply partners over the years and has brought its products to tens of millions of consumers through Tmall Fresh, Suning Fresh and new retail channels,” said Andy Zhang, vice-president of Yiguo Group’s Win-Chain Supply Chain Management. “This year, we have a new platform to connect our global fruit resources, Win-Chain. We look forward to meeting industry friends new and old at ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA, and to discussing our new platform with them.”

    Other key e-commerce players are ramping up their presence at the Hong Kong show. A debut exhibitor in 2017, Beijing-based MissFresh is doubling the size of its stand this year.

    More Middle East and Central Asian countries will also feature at this year’s show. Oman and Azerbaijan will both be exhibiting for the first time, while Jordan and the United Arab Emirates will be showcasing their wares again.

    Asia’s premier fresh fruit and vegetable trade show is set for another record-breaking year on 6-8 September 2017 in Hong Kong. With more than two months to go before Asia Fruit Logistica opens its doors at AsiaWorld-Expo, sales of exhibition space are up by 25% on last year’s total.

    Well over 11,000 top-level buyers and trade professionals from more than 70 countries are expected to attendAsia Fruit Logistica.

    Visitors can purchase their tickets online and make up to a 40% saving on their entrance fee compared with buying tickets on the door.

    Asia Fruit Logistica’s business week kicks off with the Asia Fruit Congress, Asia’s premier fresh produce conference event, which takes place the day before the exhibition on Tuesday 5 September.

    Asia Fruit Congress returns with a high-powered programme covering a range of hot topics. Fresh trends in Asia’s food retail market, delivering global brands to local consumers, and the changing global trade landscape are the headline themes on the agenda.

    On the show-floor at Asia Fruit Logistica, visitors can take part in two Hall Forums this year. Asia Business Forum offers daily workshops with practical ideas and solutions for better fresh produce marketing.

    Day one focuses on packaging, looking at its role in terms of both product preservation and merchandising.

    Day two is all about marketing, while day three looks at production and trade issues.

    Meanwhile, the second Hall Forum turns the spotlight on the worlds of hi-tech and logistics. Each morning, SMART HORTICULTURE ASIA, the forum for information management, standards and technology, will explore data management at different stages of the supply chain.

    Each afternoon, COOL LOGISTICS ASIA offers a new series of practical workshops on cold chain management. The wide-ranging programme looks at the future of container shipping, perishable logistics for beginners and exporting to Asia by air.
