Exhibitors at next year's Fruit Logistica, the leading international fresh produce trade show taking place in Berlin on 6-8 February, are being encouraged to submit their entries for one of the most prestigious awards in the industry – the Fruit Logistica Innovation Award (FLIA).
The award is open to those exhibitors that have introduced an exceptional innovation to the market between 1 November 2011 and 31 October 2012, and will be presented to the winner during an award ceremony on the last day of the event (8 February).
FLIA recognises outstanding innovations in the sector and spotlights new products and services that have had a positive impact on the market, while offering advantages over an existing product.
Previous winners of the FLIA include Salanova lettuce produced by Rijk Zwaan (2006), Vitamini’s vegetable snack from FresQ/Rainbow Growers Group (2007), the Intense beef tomato from Nunhems Netherlands BV (2008), the Sweet Green Pepper produced by Enza Zaden (2009), the Arils Removal Tool (ART) developed by Mehadrin Tnuport Export (2010), the Limeburst Finger Limes citrus fruit from Australia (2011) and the Angelo miniature sweet pepper produced by Syngenta Seeds (2012).
