Fresh fruits are a fundamental part of our diet. They provide essential vitamins and minerals, they are high in fibre and they provide a wide range of antioxidants. That is why so many countries run public health campaigns around eating five pieces of fresh produce every day.
It is also why the fresh fruit market is so huge. According to Statista, the market was worth US$674.5 billion in 2023. And the five-year forecast is for growth of nearly seven per cent each year1.
Fruit Logistica is the annual event that provides the forum for everyone involved in the entire fresh fruit value chain to discuss important developments in the industry and to exchange ideas.
