To mark this year’s move to go digital, ASIAFRUIT CONGRESS ON kicks off with a look at how Asia’s fresh fruit and vegetable business is also going digital in 2020. How has the digitalisation of Asian food retail accelerated during the Covid-19 pandemic? How are marketers going digital to engage with customers and consumers?

Technology is high on the agenda at ASIAFRUIT CONGRESS ON. ‘Green future: new production models’ zones in on innovations in sustainable farming, from vertical farming to heat-resistant varieties.

Other sessions look at changes in shopper behaviour in Asia during Covid, and at the pandemic’s impact on Asia’s fresh produce business. What changes are occurring in sourcing? What are the new fresh produce opportunities in Asia in 2021?

"Our delegates will get five sessions of first-class insight about how the market has changed, where it’s going next and how to do better business in Asia," said Fruitnet Media International’s Asia editorial director John Hey, who edits the programme for ASIAFRUIT CONGRESS ON. "And this year, they can join live on their mobile device, wherever they are in the world.”

ASIAFRUIT CONGRESS ON also celebrates the winners of this year’s prestigious ASIA FRUIT AWARDS, the only pan-Asia awards for Asia’s fresh produce business. Winners are announced at ASIAFRUIT CONGRESS ON and presented with their awards by ASIAFRUIT MAGAZINE and ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA.
