Smart Agri ignites industry innovation
Not only does Asia Fruit Logistica bring together leading fresh fruit and vegetable suppliers from around the world, but it also provides the stage to showcase innovative technologies and services in the industry.
The integration of cutting-edge technologies such as cloud computing, big data and AI into agriculture solutions is fuelling the rise of smart agriculture.
Asia Fruit Logistica is launching the new exhibitor product category – Smart Agri – in which exhibitors are invited to feature their pioneering solutions, such as smart irrigation, intelligent lighting, agricultural robots, vertical farming, and bio-mimicking pollination.
Asia’s fresh fruit and vegetable business continues to expand apace, GPE noted. Market growth and opportunities are being propelled by the emergence of exciting new varieties, innovative technology, better logistics that extend the reach of products, and ongoing breakthroughs in market access for suppliers and their products.
Exhibitor registrations are still being accepted for Asia Fruit Logistica. GPE urged companies to book their stand now to take advantage of the latest advances and untapped market opportunities, and to secure their participation at Asia’s largest gathering of the global fresh produce industry.
