Team Dole SA at Fruit Logistica

Team Dole SA is in Berlin at the world’s leading trade show for the global fresh produce business, Fruit Logistica. The show has returned to Messe Berlin, Germany in its original format since 2020.

With around 2 600 exhibitors from 92 countries including partners in the fresh produce value chain, it is the place to meet and engage with existing and potential stakeholders.

“As FRUIT LOGISTICA, we bring the right people together, provide the industry with the latest information, and offer a platform for the latest innovations.” – Kai Mangelberger, the event’s director.

Fruit Logistica in 2023 has once again presented an opportunity for key role players to meet under one roof, bringing the right people together and providing the industry with the most relevant information. The fresh produce environment has faced some challenges over the past two years – increasing inflation costs, lower consumer spending and continued disruption in the supply chain. The team from Dole South Africa has joined the international plaform at this important global event.
