Fruit Logistica 2027 Berlin: Fresh Produce Fair & Buyer List
By Ilyas Kerbal,
Fruit Logistica is the world’s leading trade fair for the fresh-produce business. In 2026 it hosted 67,500 trade visitors from 145 countries and more than 2,600 exhibitors from 90 countries. Two numbers stand out: 78.5% of visitors came from outside Germany, and 87.3% were decision-makers. The 2027 edition runs from 3 to 5 February 2027 at Messe Berlin.
That decision-maker ratio is the highest of the big food fairs. If you sell to growers, packers, importers or fresh-produce retailers, three days in Berlin can set up your year.
