Social Reporting Mission to Fruit Logistica 2014 in Berlin with COLEACP

With  about 58,000 visitors from 130 countries Fruit Logistica is the largest exhibition of fruit and vegetables in the world !! . I am so excited to have been selected as one of two individuals from the Caribbean Region to be social reporting for COLEACP from Berlin!!. Walking in the thing that hits you is the great volume of companies and their representatives covering everything from packaging and storage to exporters/importers , production,whole sale and retail as well as transporting and handling.
The ability to foster new connections , learn of new innovative agricultural technologies and network with people from all over the world is incredible -- Fruit Logistica is the Davos of Agriculture!

I am social reporting with three very talented ladies Jeanine Eugene from St Lucia , Nancy Handabile representing Zambia and Ann from Cameroon .Together we jointly represent the Caribbean and African region of small farmers.
 All day we have been roving through the vast halls trying to find the most useful and interesting innovations of 2014 represented at the exhibition. There are a total of 10 nominees for the Fruit Logistica Innovation Award. You can find them all through this link : http://www.fruitlogistica.de/en/ExhibitorService/FLIAAward/NominatedExhibitor2014/
