Global expectations high for November’s Asia Fruit Logistica

Asia Fruit Logistica is experiencing strong exhibitor demand as it gears up to return for its 2022 edition. Exhibitors from 41 different countries have already signed up for Asia’s premier trade show, which will be held on 2-4 November in Bangkok, Thailand.
Asia’s premier fresh produce trade show is back on 2-4 November 2022, taking place at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre in Bangkok together with Asiafruit Congress. 
Organiser Global Produce Events (GPE) said the global fresh fruit and vegetable business is eagerly anticipating the opportunity to meet in person again. Exhibitors from some 41 different countries and regions have already signed up to take part, GPE said, underlining the international profile of the event.
A wide range of markets across Asia will be represented, including China, Cambodia, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Jordan, South Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey and Vietnam.
In addition, exhibitors from Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Egypt, France, Germany, Greece, Israel, Italy, Kenya, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Turkey, Peru, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, the United Arab Emirates, the UK and the US will be showcasing their products and services at the event.
Asia Fruit Logistica attracts leading suppliers of technology and services throughout the value chain, and the logistics sector will be well represented at this year’s show, said GPE.
Long-term exhibitors CMA CGM, Hamburg Süd and MSC are set to make a strong comeback, while DHL, Ocean Network Express (ONE) and Kuehne + Nagel are all exhibiting again. A number of logistics companies will also exhibit for the first time at Asia Fruit Logistica 2022, including CEVA Logistics, Singapore’s Changi Airport Group and Zim Integrated Shipping Services.
Thailand’s further easing of travel restrictions means it is now even easier for international visitors to attend Asia Fruit Logistica. Thailand announced the simplified Thailand Pass registration and new entry rules for international arrivals, effective 1 June 2022. International travellers who are fully vaccinated are no longer required to provide proof of a pre-arrival negative RT-PCR test nor undergo a test on arrival. Unvaccinated/partially vaccinated travellers who are able to upload proof of a negative RT-PCR or professional ATK test within 72 hours of travel via the Thailand Pass system will also be allowed entry and are free to travel within the country.
