You’re invited to Fruit Logistica. From February 8-10, 2023, the international show in Berlin showcases numerous innovations. Examples are: new fruit and vegetable varieties, ie Florida Pearl strawberry, sustainable packaging, data-driven monitoring of production and pest-resistant crop strains.
For a preview, link to Spotlights. The leading trade show for the global fresh produce business presents more than 30 innovations, many of them making their debut on the world stage.
For example, innovative packaging methods are promoting sustainability. Carton Pack has designed a practical bucket made from Social Plastic rPET, i.e. plastics recovered from ocean waste. This reduces environmental pollution and benefits the livelihoods of those collecting it.
The Dutch company Hotraco with its iHotraco Storage Data solution is showing how precise data can make production more efficient. This system makes crop storage easier for producers and provides a constant overview of data. Delphy Digital’s quality management systems also support crop production, by helping to make greenhouse cultivation more efficient. DeltaTRAK users log data on fresh produce in real time while it is in transit to the customer. With its FlashTrak Cloud Services, DeltaTRAK offers global supply chain actors a turnkey solution with a data-driven decision-making capability. Technical innovations such as these are helping to effectively reduce food waste.
