About 20 Ukrainian companies producing fresh fruit, berries, nuts, mushrooms, as well as environmentally friendly packaging, participated in the fresh produce trade show, Fruit Logistica, in Berlin on February 7-9.
This year the International Trade Center’s stand “Promoting the entry of small and medium-sized fruit and berry sector enterprises into the key markets and involving them in the value-added chains” displayed 10 companies. Five more companies came as reference visit participants, according to Hanna Syrchyna, the representative of the International Trade Center. The project, financed by the Government of Sweden and implemented by the International Trade Center, has been presented at the exhibition for the sixth time.
President of the Ukrainian Berries Association Iryna Kukhtina mentioned that the association’s collective stand displayed 10 Ukrainian berry and frozen corn producers. Four of them had their own racks.
“It is very important for us to be present at exhibitions in these years not only to find new customers but also show the old ones that we have not disappeared with the start of the war, we continue supplying and working,” Kukhtina noted.
Most Ukrainian producers are regular exhibition participants, but some of them came for the first time. (Ukrinform/Business World Magazine)
