The Ukrainian fruit and vegetable market has been dynamically developing, and fruits, berries and vegetables grown in Ukraine continue to gain popularity among consumers from dozens countries throughout the world. That is exactly why Fruit-Inform, the organizer of the leading international event of the Ukrainian fruit and vegetable business, has chosen a new message of this year’s conference as “Export Breakthrough!”.

Ukraine more often proves to be a global supplier of high-quality fruits and vegetables thanks to its climatic conditions, geographical location and modern approaches to agricultural business. Thus, Ukrainian exports have been growing both in volumes and geography, especially in the segments of apples, blueberries, cherries, frozen strawberries and raspberries etc.

It is development of export focus that will favor a further increase in fruit and vegetable production, and it is export opportunities that the business program of the conference will be based on. The event will traditionally be held in a three-day format in conjunction with Fresh Business Expo 2019, the only Ukrainian exhibition for fruit and vegetable business professionals. The conference will be organized in partnership with FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations), UHA (Ukrainian Horticultural Association) and East-Fruit.

- Fruit and vegetable sector development forecast for Ukraine and globally

- New steps of UHA to significantly increase fruit and vegetable exports
