The World Of Fruit & Vegetables Comes To London June 4th

London  – The London Produce Show and Conference is taking place on June 4, 2015, at the Grosvenor House, a Marriott hotel on Park Lane.

This is the second edition of this annual business-to-business event for the international fresh fruit and vegetable industry, open only to the food trade, government officials, academia and the media.

This will be by far the largest gathering of the world’s fruit and vegetable community ever assembled on British shores – with attendance likely to be up by around 50% higher than our inaugural event in 2014.

Among the prominent features will be demonstrations by leading British chefs (see below line-up), a boutique trade exhibition with 128 exhibition booths covering more than 40 countries and every category of the fresh produce industry. More than 1500 visitors will include food retailers and wholesalers, restaurateurs, foodservice operators, food safety experts, growers, exporters and importers from every corner of the globe.

Our media centre will be open from 9.30am to 5pm and you will receive a full media pack, information about exhibitors, as well as press releases from many of them. Our chef ambassador Jeremy Pang, owner of School of Wok in Covent Garden, will be launching his brand new book – Chinese Unchopped – at the show and is also available for interviews.

There will be a bounty of fresh produce on display from all over the world, from the humble to the exotic. And from celebrity chefs and top supermarket buyers to high street greengrocers and growers of all sizes – there will be something at the show for food-specific and business journalists alike.

In addition to produce innovations, marketing and trends, the conference will debut new research and several top professors from leading ag-business university programmes will be addressing our seminar audiences. Among our industry experts will be Bruce Peterson, a renowned global retail analyst, who was in charge of buying fresh produce for Wal-Mart in the USA from its earliest days to the time it became the world’s largest retailer. Wal-Mart now owns Asda.

Also available for interview is founder and owner of PRODUCE BUSINESS Magazine and PerishablePundit.com, Jim Prevor, the most influential fresh produce commentator around and world-renowned for his analysis of Tesco’s arrival and consequent departure from the USA.

For the printed and online written media, our list of exhibitors and our global thought and practice leaders will be available for one-on-one interviews throughout the day. Contact us in advance if you’d like to speak to any of them and we’ll be happy to organise. For broadcast media, the same applies, and the show floor and chef demonstration area will be open for filming all day.

This is just a snapshot of what’s on show at the UK’s biggest produce event. We also have a cocktail reception on Wednesday June 3rd, to which you are invited. Additional details are available on our website.
