The Commercial Horticultural Association will once again be hosting a group and promoting UK horticulture at the global trade fair for fresh produce.
Fruit Logistica draws 2,700 exhibitors and 66,000 visitors from 145 countries, bringing the biggest industry players together as a meeting place for contacts but also as a driver for innovation and a source of information. The fair is grouped into three segments: fresh produce, machinery & technology and logistics.
“We are excited to be back with our UK group at Fruit Logistica” commented Event Manager David McAllister. “Our prime location in Hall 5.2 always sees great footfall and delivers contacts from around the world. For growers and suppliers, our group is a must see given the variety of companies we are hosting and the inspiration they are offering for both product and supplies”.
The UK group includes:

Richardson’s Jersey Royal New Potatoes (CHA Member)
Stand 5.2 B20
D A Richardson Ltd brings ‘Richardson’s Jersey Royals’ to the European market. Famously delicious, hand-picked Jersey Royal New Potatoes grown using liquid seaweed, lifted at the optimal time for flavour, fresh water washed, coated with coir and packed into heat-sealed moisture retaining kraft paper packaging, Richardson’s are getting the attention of buyers all over the UK.

Their system is unique globally and is gaining recognition as the ultimate system to deliver top quality new potatoes to market.
RYPEN
Stand 5.2 B24
RYPEN Technology captures excess ethylene without the need for blocking or oxidising – it can be incorporated into various packaging formats to gently slow ripening, extending condition and freshness through transit, storage or retail applications. Through its unique mode of action, produce packed with RYPEN can still develop its eating potential, delivering better condition for longer, less waste and improved financial returns while still delighting the end consumer on taste. Available as a liner / top sheet for grapes, stone fruit, avocados and more; a pad for fresh berries and prepared fruit; or a paper-backed ‘Leaf’ for open cartons or MAP.
The CHA will also be represented within the group:
CHA is the British trade association for producers and suppliers of plants, produce, commercial equipment and services. The CHA helps UK suppliers to export, facilitates trade links between UK suppliers and growers, wholesalers and retailers worldwide and lobbies government for export funding and support.
The CHA team can advise visitors who would like to discover more about the UK market, CHA member companies or how to get involved.
