Fruit Logistica, a trade show for the fresh produce business, remains a popular place for industry professionals from all over the globe to maintain and expand their network, discuss new trends and ideas, and grow their businesses. Over 2,500 exhibitors from 86 countries are due to take part.
"Our guiding theme is Fruitful Connections, and that's because Berlin is the place to make contacts, share new plans, and build partnerships," says Kai Mangelberger, Director of Fruit Logistica. "We are excited to offer our exhibitors and visitors countless opportunities to strengthen existing relationships and forge new ones, all aimed at driving sustainable growth."
Italy, the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, and France remain its top five countries in terms of exhibitor numbers, but the number of companies taking part from Asia, the Middle East and North Africa, and Africa is also set to grow.
More exhibitors are expected from the UK, India, China, Turkey, and Vietnam – the latter has more than doubled its presence – while exhibitors from countries including Sri Lanka, Singapore, the Philippines, Mauritius, and Iran make a long-awaited return.
Innovation in focus
New for 2025 is an expanded, three-day Startup World, which shines a light on groundbreaking solutions and emerging technologies that can bring new success to the fresh produce industry. And there's plenty more to be found at the event thanks to the online series Fruit Logistica Spotlights, a guide to some of the show's innovations.
Plenty to learn
That growth is reflected in this year's Fruit Logistica Trend Report. Titled 'Future Trends in Fresh Produce Supply' and available to download for free, the report is an essential resource for industry professionals navigating challenging markets and one that offers valuable insights into emerging supply chains, new sources of produce, and transformative market developments.
Event program
Fruit Logistica 2025 also offers a program of talks and discussions on the Fresh Produce Forum, Future Lab, Logistics Hub, Tech Stage, and Farming Forward stages. Hear from experts about the future of the fresh produce industry across several different topics – including digital innovations, fast-track breeding, retail marketing, environmental protection, improved packaging, and high-tech transport systems.
Fruitful Friday
This year, Fruit Logistica's final day culminates in a celebration of the fresh produce industry. After the show's first-ever Mascot Race, there will be champagne and music to enhance the day's prestigious Fruit Logistica Innovation Awards ceremony. And with exhibitors encouraged to leave their stands and explore some of the exhibition's 25 halls, the entire day is dedicated to the development of deeper discussions and expanded horizons.
