Live from Kiev : FRESH BUSINESS EXPO to take a place on the Ukrainian market
FJ
These last two years have been difficult for the Ukrainian market following the events on the Maydan square. Professionals believe that the economy in general has dropped by 15-20% during this period.
The agricultural sector is the market that has held up best in this environment. While the show for Fruit & Vegetable was canceled in 2014, this year the event is being rebuilt under the leadership of its manager Kuno Jacobs: "2015 is a renewal for the Fruit & Vegetable sector with FRESH BUSINESS EXPO. Many still think that this is an unstable market, but the political situation is much better. In January 2016, the free trade agreement between Ukraine and the EU will apply and this will inevitably boost the Ukrainian market. Ukraine has enormous agricultural potential and the most ambitious players are already positioning. "
Alongside the exhibition where fruit, vegetables, Pre products and services and post harvest are represented, the main conference of the Ukrainian market is organized by INFORM FRUIT. A record number of delegates pre-registered for the conference which include producers, shippers but also buyers from supermarkets.
