To mark its 200-issue milestone, Asiafruit turns through its archives to find some of its most notable editions and the stories that made them. Some of the biggest names in Asia’s fresh produce business discuss the magazine’s role in the growth of the trade, contemplate their own companies’ journeys and share their predictions for the future.

Korea is a key market for a number of global exporters, but its traditional preferences are starting to change as consumers turn to new types of imported fruit. Meanwhile, Korean exporters are working to protect their brand as they navigate logistics challenges.
