Asia Fruit Logistica rescheduled to 2022
Asia’s premier fresh produce trade show cannot take place in September this year because international business travel remains severely limited.
The severe limitation of international business travel during the global coronavirus pandemic means that Asia Fruit Logistica is shelving plans for 28-30 September 2021 when more than 800 exhibitors and 12,000 visitors from 70 countries all over the world were hoping to meet in Hong Kong.
“It’s simply impossible to promise a large-scale international trade show in such circumstances,” says Karel Heijs, managing director of Global Produce Events GmbH (GPE), organiser of Asia Fruit Logistica. “We’re not in the game of promising our exhibitors and visitors something that no one can deliver this year. We all know that things are unlikely to be back to normal before September, and it’s better we say that loud and clear and that we say it right now.”
