Main novelties of technologies and marketing of global fruit & vegetable business to be presented during 3 days in Kyiv!

Less than two weeks are left till the beginning of the fourth international conference "Fruits and Vegetables of Ukraine 2007. Meeting New Leader" on the 4th-6th of December 2007 in Kyiv on the territory of the National Complex "Expocenter of Ukraine", and the registration of the participants of the conference and wholesale-retail center will be over in three days.

The events of such scale are not conducted in any other country of CIS, so that the leadership of Ukraine in the issues of fruit & vegetable business development on the former USSR territory is again confirmed. During three days the conference participants will be able to listen to the presentations of 35 leading experts from 12 countries. The participants will be able to sign contracts with the suppliers of inputs and equipment, and to contract the future harvest to be supplied to the leading retail chains of Ukraine and the wholesale companies from Russia, Poland, Holland and other countries. The conference coincides with the same-name international exhibition, so that all participants will be able to use their time with the maximal effect.

To the opinion of Andriy Yarmak, the head of "Agrooglyad: Vegetables and Fruits" project, the conference will be the most informative and innovative during the whole its history. "We have never presented so many novelties simultaneously in Ukraine", A. Yarmak says. In 2007 all conference participants will see the most advanced developments in the sphere of irrigation and greenhouse technologies by Netafim company, the inventor of drip irrigation systems, which provides general sponsorship to the conference.

All producers will be exited with the presentation of the most advanced systems of orchard protection from frosts and the presentation of new technologies of fruit and vegetable storage. In particular, "Phytomag" company sponsors the conference - it is the разработчиком of the innovative system to preserve product quality. It can become an alternative to the expensive CA storage technology. The presentation of X-tend technologies by StePac company let preserve perishable products, such as sweet cherry, up to 2 months - it arises the increased interest of both producers and wholesalers right now.

The dramatically increased labour cost and its deficit make the producers search for the possibility to mechanize the production. One of the leading producers of machinery for vegetable growing, Asa-Lift company from Denmark, will present its developments in these spheres. We'd like to remind that "Unifer" company is the dealer of Asa-Lift in Ukraine - and it also sponsors the conference.

It is not enough to grow produce to become successful in modern fruit & vegetable business. You will also need to sell it profitably. That's why the official trade sponsor of the conference, "Shuvar", invites all producers and wholesalers to actively participate in wholesale-retail center, where they will be able to sign contracts on produce supply and purchase.

The program 2007 almost doesn't possess common or non-innovative presentations. But we can't enumerate all of them here, that's why we recommend everybody to read conference program in order to catch all interesting events. We'd like to point out that such urgent questions will be considered in the framework of the conference, like price forecast for fruits and vegetables in coming months, production forecast for the next year, the issues of the production of organic fruits and vegetables, practical aspects of blueberry production, integrated production and processing of apples and berries, production of seedlings, perspectives of raw material market development for canneries and juice plants, the issues of logistics, exports and imports, fertilization of planted areas, plant protection assets from pests and diseases, greenhouse technologies, sorting, etc.

We'd like to remind that there are only three days left till the end of registration of the participants of the conference and wholesale-retail center!
