The Canadian Fresh Produce industry will have its largest-ever presence at Fruit Logistica next year thanks to a joint initiative between the Canadian Produce Marketing Association (CPMA), Messe Berlin and B-For.
The pavilion is designed to showcase the country's industry as a thriving and successful market with strong trade opportunities and business prospects, embracing the opportunity to elevate Canada's presence.
'The enhanced participation in Fruit Logistica this year says a lot about where the Canadian produce industry is heading,' said CPMA president Dan Dempster. 'We're proud to represent our members on an international stage so more foreign companies can see what CPMA has to offer.'
In addition to CPMA, companies participating in the Canadian pavilion include the BC Blueberry Council, Jealous Fruits, Knight's Appleden Ltd, Norfolk Fruit Growers' Association, Ontario Apple Growers, Accu-Label, Scotian Gold Cooperative Ltd and Bay Growers Cooperative.
Opening ceremonies for the Canadian Pavilion will be held at 11am on 3 February, with a reception following in the Canadian pavilion's business lounge.
Fruit Logistica takes place at the Berlin Exhibition Grounds on 3-5 February 2010 in Berlin, Germany.
