American producers were at Fruit Logistica to show off their apples and nuts.
The Washington Apple Commission took a stand at the show and George Smith said it had proved a big success in raising the profile of the Red Delicious, with particular interest coming from the Russian sector.
He said, following the fair, he will be heading to St Petersberg for a three-day promotional tour.
Californian producers were also at the show to promote nuts and dried fruit.
Joachim Alkewitz, general manager of PALM Nuts & More, said sales of his products are continuing to rise.
