Fruit-Inform announces the start of registration for the largest fruit and vegetable market event in Ukraine – the 14^th International Conference “Fruits & Vegetables of Ukraine-2017. Success in unity”, which will traditionally be held in a three-day format together with the only exhibition for the fruit and vegetable business in Ukraine - Fresh Business Expo 2017.

Conference sessions are planned for December 5-6, and the third day of the event will be devoted to the 7^th International Trade Forum, which enables domestic and foreign suppliers of fruits and vegetables to conduct direct negotiations with above 25 Ukrainian retail chains as well as exporters and importers.

By tradition, the organizers have prepared a variety of informational novelties for the conference agenda. It is no coincidence that a message of this year’s conference is expressed as Success in Unity. Leading fruit and vegetable business experts and the most important market players see the future success of the sector joining professionals’ efforts. Key principles of collaboration in a new format and their advantages are to be discussed during the conference “Fruits & Vegetables of Ukraine-2017”. Furthermore, the export geography of Ukrainian fruits and vegetables has been expanding year by year; therefore, such events are of more and more importance for the country’s industry.
