From the airport the presence of Egypt at Fruit Logistica 2017 can not be ignored.
At Fruit Logistica 2017, the national pavilion of Egypt will be one of the largest with approximately 1600 m2 of exhibition space. A presence that marks the spirits from the airport with numerous billboards for the industry's leading event.
Organized with AEC, EECA and the Ministries of Trade and Agriculture, the Egyptian Pavilion will bring together nearly 90 companies who will present their products and services to professionals from around the world.
Egyptian fruit and vegetable exports totaled USD 2.1 billion for the 2015-16 season. Fresh fruits accounted for half of the turnover with citrus fruits, grapes, pomegranates and strawberries. The main markets are Saudi Arabia, Russia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates.
AEC, the Export Council of Agriculture, seeks to open up new markets. China and other Asian countries receive citrus fruits and grapes. Japan and the countries of South America seem promising as the countries of Africa that present many opportunities and with whom Egypt has trade agreements.
