The 5th International Congress on organic demand and sustainable supply, organised by Eurofresh Distribution and Fruit Attraction, will kick off its first session on 4 October and will hold its second session on 6 October.
Biofruit Congress, the 5th International Congress on organic demand and sustainable supply, will be held within the framework of Fruit Attraction 2022. After the success of the four previous international events, which brought together more than 400 attendees each, Eurofresh Distribution Magazine and Fruit Attraction are joining forces again on the 4th and 6th of October to discuss the future of organic F&V markets and other growing "value chains".
European retail buyers and international institutions will discuss the best strategies to boost the organic market phenomenon in Europe and worldwide.
Considering the latest consumer behaviours since Covid-19, is there a better way to respond to the growing consumer demand beyond organic products and towards a greater commitment to environmental and social issues?
