The 2011 situation in the Russian and Ukrainian market showed the importance of direct contacts between international suppliers and retail chains from the Eastern European countries in development of the long-term and fruitful relations. Retail chains of Russia and Ukraine are undoubtedly the largest purchasers of fruits, vegetables and potatoes, therefore Fruit-Inform decided to include the First Ukrainian-Russian Trade Forum in the program of the 8th International Conference “Fruits & Vegetables of Ukraine – 2011.

Involvement of retail chains from Belarus and large importers from the Eastern European countries is also planned.
“This year's conference program is designed in such a way that it enables the participants not only to receive the unique information about the Eastern European fresh produce sector and see the novelties in production, post-harvesting, processing and storage technologies, but also conduct negotiations between each other, make new contacts and strengthen their position in the Russian and Ukrainian markets”, Tetiana Getman, Head of Fruit-Inform, accentuates.
