After the great success of the previous 4 editions, which received more than 400 delegates, EUROFRESH DISTRIBUTION magazine and FRUIT ATTRACTION team up again 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 for fuelling the organic market phenomenon in Europe and globally. Considering the latest consumer behaviours since Covid-19, how to better respond to the growing consumer demand beyond organics, for more engagement with the environment and social issues?
