Asia Fruit Logistica reschedules to November
Asia Fruit Logistica is rescheduling to Nov. 18-20 2020 in Singapore, which it says is to ensure a successful trade show for every exhibitor and visitor coming from all over the world.
āWeāve come to this decision after a long, detailed, and very careful assessment of the situation with our exhibition venue partner and the authorities in Singapore as well as with key people in the international fresh produce business,ā says Will Wollbold, Commercial Director of Global Produce Events (GPE), the event organizer.
āWe want to help the global fresh fruit and vegetable industry to reconnect in Asia in 2020,ā explains Wollbold.
āRegistration numbers from all over the world for ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA 2020 are good and broad. But in light of COVID-19 we believe it is right for exhibitors and visitors alike that we reschedule to mid-November. This will give them more than six months from now to plan their participation.ā
The Singapore Tourism Board (STB) welcomes the move. āASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA is truly a significant platform for the global fresh produce industry, and weāre pleased to host the event at Singapore Expo on 18-20 November 2020,ā said Mr Andrew Phua, Executive Director of Exhibitions and Conferences, STB.
āWe understand Global Produce Eventsā decision to reschedule ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA, and are committed to working closely with them towards a successful show. We remain confident in Singaporeās strong reputation as a preferred destination for business events, and look forward to welcoming our delegates to Singapore.ā
Singapore is a very reassuring location for ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA, Asiaās premier event for the international fresh fruit and vegetable business.
āSingapore is applying some of the strictest health and safety measures to fight this pandemic, including state of the art technology which we want to make available to our exhibitors and trade visitors,ā said Wollbold.
āAnd letās not forget that Singapore is a key global transport hub with one-flight connections from hundreds of cities around the world. It means itās so much easier to come here.ā
Singapore was also the location of the first-ever Asiafruit Congress in 1998. The one-day conference event will now take place at Singapore Expo on Tuesday 17 November 2020.
