FRESH, Europe's leading fresh fruit and vegetable conference event, coming to St. Petersburg, Russia on 13-15 April, has added exciting new industry professionals to its roster of programme speakers.
Keeping a close eye on Russia's emergence as a major import hub for fresh fruit and vegetables, Elena Malkova (The Greenery), Damian Kozlowski (Agro Alians Sp. z.o.o.) and Bostjan Kozole (Evrosad) join the programme's second session while important Russian insiders Andrey Milekhin (ROMIR Holding) and Nicholay Asaul (St. Petersburg City Government) offer crucial advice on logistical and marketing opportunities.
With registrations still open, delegates still have time to register online at www.freshcongress.com to take advantage of these exciting new programme updates.
Organised by Eurofruit Magazine and Freshfel Europe, FRESH will take place at the Corinthia Hotel, the new five-star business and conference hotel on St. Petersburg's famous Nevsky Prospect. This year’s programme focuses on the exciting changes already under way in Russia, as new opportunities open up to the fresh produce business on the back of the continued growth in consumer spending power and sale of more produce through major supermarkets.
Speakers Boris Planer of Planet Retail, Oleg Rogozin of Bavaria and OKEY’s Dmitriy Sharikov will open the conference, paving the way for key industry representatives Bruno de Canson of Dow AgroSciences, Alberto Volpano of the EU Embassy, Andriy Yarmak of Fruit-Inform and Tatiana Crooijmans of Rabobank to offer delegates advice on how to better business prospects within the Russian market.
FRESH has also made new updates to its study tour programme offering delegates the chance to visit major Russian retail chains Lenta, Land and OKEY.
