Nord-Pas-de-Calais extends Welcome to N France to FRUIT LOGISTICA 2012
The Nord-Pas-de-Calais region (in northern France) will host the Welcome to Northern France pavilion at FRUIT LOGISTICA 2012. The trade show, dedicated to the fresh-produce sector, will take place from 8 to 10 February 2012 at the Messe Berlin exhibition centre in the German capital and is expected to welcome 56,000 visitors from over 130 countries.
- (1888PressRelease) January 13, 2012 - The 400m˛ Welcome to Northern France pavilion (in Hall 22, Booth F14) will host 17 French companies presenting their region's fresh produce or their packaging/logistics know-how .
The Nord-Pas-de-Calais region offers many benefits to businesses, including its prime location, close to Brussels, London and Paris. (The Eurostar journey from London to Lille takes 90 minutes.) Nord-Pas-de-Calais ranks third among French food-growing regions, with the sector's turnover set to reach €11.5 billion in 2011. A third of all potatoes produced in France are grown in the region, which ranks first nationally for endives, second for onions, and third for cauliflowers, in terms of volumes produced.
Among the new features on the Nord-Pas-de-Calais pavilion will be T&B Vergers' new Quality Guarantee, which ensures full traceability of fruit from the place of production to its dispatch through the channels of distribution. Verduyn will introduce its two new packaging modes - in punnets or in P-Plus packages of more than a kilo - as well as a new range of knife-peeled carrots.
Bayard Distribution will present its upscale brand of potatoes and introduce a new microwavable package, and NEGONOR will showcase a new range of organic potatoes for making chips or mash.
To enhance the visitor experience on the pavilion, there will also be a daily showcase by a chef using produce from the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region.
