Asia Fruit Logistica trade exhibition participation

Overview

The Asia Fruit Logistica trade show in Hong Kong served as a platform for various agricultural stakeholders to engage with international markets.

The Philippine Department of Agriculture returned to the event after nearly ten years, led by Undersecretary Philip C. Young. Agriculture Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel stated the initiative aims to reduce the country’s USD 11 billion annual agricultural trade deficit by expanding overseas markets for high-value export crops to improve farmer income and global competitiveness.

Private sector exporters also utilized the exhibition to identify regional trends. Yuksel Seeds noted high interest from China and Southeast Asian markets, observing that premium quality and flavor, specifically Brix levels, are becoming critical criteria for products like peppers and cucumbers. Meanwhile, Australia Fruits focused on strengthening ties with growers and providing mixed containers for customers in the Pacific Islands, Thailand, and Cambodia, despite competition from Chinese citrus in Indonesia and Vietnam.
