What to know before exhibiting or visiting from Spain

FRUIT LOGISTICA is organised by Messe Berlin GmbH and takes place every year at the Berlin Exhibition Grounds. The 2027 edition runs from 3 to 5 February. Three days is a short window, so the work that decides the result happens before the fair.

The fair covers the whole chain: fresh fruit and vegetables, cultivation machinery and technology, processing and packaging, and cold-chain logistics. That range matters when choosing a goal. A grower looks for buyers; a packaging or machinery supplier looks for producers. Define which of the two you are before choosing a stand type or a visit agenda.

The import table on this page shows the sector's weight by customs chapter, in USD, for 2025 according to UN Comtrade. Chapter 08, fruit and nuts, is the largest, followed by chapter 07, vegetables. Use it to decide which of your products to bring and which to leave out. The table is a ranking of chapters, not a forecast of demand for your specific product.

Tariffs and import conditions depend on the exact product. For a company exporting from Spain, the applicable duty depends on the subpartida of the product and the agreement in force, and it is checked in Access2Markets. Phytosanitary and marketing requirements also depend on the product, so check them for each one before agreeing prices with a buyer.

Prepare the visit with a short list of target buyer types, such as importers, wholesalers or retail purchasing teams, and book meetings before the fair. Bring product specifications, packaging formats and available volumes by season. Follow up in the days after the fair, while the conversation is still recent.
