"Vegetable and fruits of Ukraine-2005" - is more than just an exhibition or conference!
This year the elite of the produce business in Eastern Europe will again convene in Kiev. The first initiative of "APK-Inform", jointly with the Agricultural Marketing Project (AMP), to bring together key NIS participants in the produce business by conducting, at the end of 2004, the First International Conference "Vegetables and Fruits of Ukraine: market of new opportunities" was such a success that the concept of the Conference will be much further developed this year.
First. The 2nd International Conference "Vegetables and Fruits of Ukraine - 2005" - is much more than just a conference because the Conference will be combined with a full-fledged international exhibition displayed in the country's main exhibit complex, The National Exposition Center of Ukraine. Second. The Conference program this year will not leave out any produce business operators - farmer, wholesaler, processor or supermarket - since professional remarks containing exclusive information on the most outstanding topics will be presented by the most reputable professionals of this industry. In every presentation emphasis will be put on the ample investment opportunities existing in the market. In addition, the folder conference participants receive will contain unique reference books for produce business operators including for example - market research data, valuable manuals on modern produce packaging practices and many other materials related to the production and marketing of fruits and vegetables.
Combining the Conference with the exhibition will create numerous opportunities for not only hearing about new technologies and trends in the produce industry but, also to visualize them at the exhibition with your own eyes. Also it will be possible to communicate with input supply companies promoting these technologies. It is significant that not only Ukrainian companies will participate at the Conference, but also companies, which have been successfully operating in the produce business, from other NIS countries, Central and Western Europe, the USA and more.
Undoubtedly, Ukraine should be proud because such an event will take place in this country for the first time. As of today no event similar to our "Vegetables and Fruits of Ukraine" is held in any other NIS country. Companies from Russia, Belarus, Moldova, Georgia and other NIS countries which took part in the first international conference were pleasantly surprised by its information content, level of organization, and professionalism. Therefore, this year the Conference program is more interesting and Conference organizers anticipate still larger numbers of participants from the various countries mentioned.
