ASIA – ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA, a key player in the fresh produce trade show circuit, is set to host an exclusive China-focused networking and trade event in Shanghai on May 27-28, 2024.
This initiative is part of the Business Meet-Ups series, a regional networking and trade event launched by ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA.
The event aims to bring together industry leaders, buyers, and suppliers to delve into the burgeoning Chinese market’s trends and opportunities.
The Shanghai Business Meet-Up promises a comprehensive two-day program featuring expert talks and discussions organized by ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA’s knowledge partner, ASIAFRUIT MAGAZINE.
This content-packed program will be complemented by a B2B expo and various business networking formats, including a large-scale networking dinner. Registration for this exclusive event is now open, with limited slots allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
The uniqueness of this event lies in its co-hosting by three major fruit and vegetable wholesale markets in China, strategically covering the entire fresh produce landscape.
Guangzhou Jiangnan, situated in Guangdong, dominates the southern region; Shanghai Huizhan in the Yangtze River Delta caters to Central China, while the Sunhola Group operates in north China’s Hebei Province, servicing the growing demand for fresh produce in the northern regions.
