Speakers Pavel Malyshev of Agropak (Russia), Jack Stroeken of Groenten Fruit Bureau (Netherlands) and Jana Djokic of ROMIR Holding (Russia) join the FRESH programme, furthering discussion on the changing markets and emerging trends in the Russian fresh produce trade.

Speakers Boris Planer from Planet Retail, Oleg Rogozin of Bavaria and OKEY’s Dmitriy Sharikov will open the conference, paving the way for key industry representatives Bruno de Canson of Dow AgroSciences, Alberto Volpano of the EU Embassy, Andriy Yarmak of Fruit-Inform and Tatiana Crooijmans of Rabobank to offer delegates advice on how to better business prospects within the Russian market.

Keeping a close eye on Russia’s emergence as a major import hub for fresh fruit and vegetables will also be Elena Malkova (The Greenery), Damian Kozlowski (Agro Alians Sp. z.o.o.), Bostjan Kozole (Evrosad) and Nicholay Asaul (St. Petersburg City Government).

Organised by Eurofruit Magazine and Freshfel Europe, FRESH will take place at the Corinthia Hotel, the new five-star business and conference hotel on St. Petersburg’s famous Nevsky Prospect. This year’s programme focuses on the exciting changes already under way in Russia, as new opportunities open up to the fresh produce business on the back of the continued growth in consumer spending power and sale of more produce through major supermarkets.
