Suppliers of fruits & vegetables to Russia and Ukraine will now have access to powerful system of price and market monitoring

Since Russia is presently the leading market for fresh produce in the world in terms of market growth ratio, suppliers of fruits & vegetables as well as suppliers of inputs, equipment and machinery are very interested in tracking the market developments in this country. Ukraine, being the largest country in Europe in terms of territory is also of a high interest among suppliers & investors. However, until recently, good market information about these countries was very difficult to come by.

Fruit-Inform Project known in Russia & Ukraine as “Agroogliad: Vegetables & Fruits” has decided to respond to growing information demand by launching a powerful market information system in English. The Fruit-Inform includes daily wholesale market prices in both countries for all key fruits and vegetables, weekly farm-gate prices for domestically grown products and average wholesale prices for imported produce, weekly market repots with information about price and trade trends as well as price forecasts and expectations. Subscribers will also receive regularly updated production, exports and imports statistics, fundamental production and prices forecasts and key market news and other useful information.

While information will be sent to clients via e-mail every Monday morning, they would also be able to access it through Fruit-Inform.com web-portal. Besides, subscribers of the Fruit-Inform will be able to place their commercial offers and bids at the trade board of the portal, which is visited by around 45,000 companies every month. Specialists of Fruit-Inform will take care of translation of these offers and bids into Russian and include them in the weekly journal “Agroogliad: Vegetables & Fruits” – leading fresh produce business publication in Russia and Ukraine.

Yet another benefit for subscribers would be additional discounts for participation in the largest fresh produce conferences in the Eastern Europe organized and held by the Project.

During February Fruit-Inform will be sent to all companies interested free of charge. However, starting from March it will only be available to subscribers. Subscription costs 99 euro per month. Annual subscription is available at a 15% discount.

Please note, that all companies subscribed by March 1, 2008 will get a special discounted price of 89 euro per month, while annual subscription would only cost 76 euro per month!
