UK Fruit & Vegetable Market facts:
The fresh fruit and vegetable market in the UK is
valued at �7.6bn at current prices. The fresh fruit
sector accounts for 38.1% of the overall market and
is gaining share. Both the fruit and vegetable sectors
have benefited from widespread publicity about the
positive impact on health of consuming fruit and
vegetables regularly. In the UK, a government drive
to encourage people to eat more fruit and vegetables
may be having a positive effect on the market. The
Department of Health's Five-a-Day Programme, for
example, is designed to encourage consumers to eat
five 80 gram portions of fresh fruit and vegetables a
day.
Despite a strong agricultural sector within the UK,
90% of fruit and 70% of specialist vegetables, have
to be imported to match supply with demand, which
continues to increase.
This is truly a massive market and The World Fruit
& Vegetable Show aims to be the introduction
centre within the UK, for buyers and suppliers alike.
Following the success of the 2008 show, where
exhibitors came from around the world and met new
customers and developed good business contacts
within mainly, a UK audience, the 2009 World Fruit
& Vegetable Show will take place again in London,
on the 21-22 October 2009.
This is a "trade only" exhibition, in its' third year of
development, which consists of both individual
exhibitors with their own stands, and pavilions
made up of groups of companies representing a
country, or region.
Attracting exhibiting companies from around the
world, interested in trading within the UK market,
the variety of products displayed, will be of interest
to all trade buyers from within the fresh / dried fruit
and vegetable market and within the flower sector,
which is also represented.
