07-09 Feb 2024
The fresh produce industry's most renown event
Fruit Logistica follows the entire cultivation process of fresh fruit trade through the value chain up to how it’s shipped, distributed and sold at a variety of POS. That alone places this international trade fair front and centre within the broader agricultural landscape.
The trade fair has been going strong since 1993 and has become the must-see platform for innovation and procurement on the territory of Europe first and then the rest of the world.
In terms of product diversity, visitors will have access to dried fruit, flowers, fruits, nuts, organic produce, potted plants and spice, cultivation equipment, post-harvest technical systems, modified atmosphere technology, product monitoring technology, cooling systems, ripening equipment, packing and sorting machinery.
The industry, as of right now, faces numerous challenges for growers given the current climate instability in a lot of traditional grower regions.
Fruit Logistica 2024
Fruit Logistica’s 2024 edition will be held as a live exhibition from 07.02.2024 to 09.02.2024. The edition will be hosted at the Berlin ExpoCenter City. While there are no active safety procedures in place at the convention centre, participants should follow a few guidelines. These include wearing medical face masks in enclosed spaces. Participants must also practice good hand hygiene and pre-register, because there will be no registration kiosks on site. Attendees arriving from China will be required to present negative test results that are no older than 48 hours, upon arrival in Germany because of the implemented travel limitations.

Editions of Fruit Logistica run at the start of February every single year. Messe Berlin GmbH acts as the official organiser and proceedings are held at the Berlin ExpoCenter City. The trade fair is on the shorter side, as exhibitions are open to trade visitors for three days during the work week. The exhibition grounds are open to trade visitors from 09:00 am until 18:00 pm, but the last day wraps up two hours earlier at 16:00 pm. Berlin ExpoCenter City is somewhat removed from the city centre of Berlin, but there are multiple shuttle bus services that help you with commuting. There’s a shuttle bus line from Tegel Airport, which makes it all the easier to discover. You also have bus lines that connect you to the rest of the city.
- “We have been part of FRUIT LOGISTICA ever since it was founded and have grown steadily ever since. It's a big meeting that is not to be missed. The fair offers some very good instruments such as the Innovation Award, the 'Organic' or 'Convenience Route'.” – Bianca Bonifacio, Internationalization & Exhibitions Manager, CSO Italy;
- “We've been coming to FRUIT LOGISTICA for 15 years. It is the most professional fair in the world. It attracts a lot of professionals. We meet existing and new customers. The fair is getting more and more popular, and we did a lot of business.” — Sophy Cui, Marketing Manager, Goodfarmer Foods Holding (China);
- “FRUIT LOGISTICA is a very dynamic venue for exhibitors and potential customers. It's a unique opportunity to meet people from all over the world, to think outside the box and get a bigger picture of our market as a whole.” — Christopher Lazaro, Global Marketing Manager, Chiquita Brands International (Switzerland).
It’s time to reveal what all this hype around Fruit Logistica as an industry leader translates into as numbers, and you’ll be very happy to exhibit here as you’re among the company of 3200 exhibitors and counting.
The audience numbers over 78,000 trade visitors from all over the world. Mostly we are talking about countries in the European Union, but there are visitors from as far as East Asia, South America and Oceania. This should open up new regions for you to explore. Another good news is that most visitors have a high power when it comes to making purchases, with nearly half being the decision makers and the second-largest group having collective say.
A breakdown of the professionals we see several distinct groups emerge – fruit and vegetable growers, retail trade, importers, exporters and wholesale trade.
