Launch of "FRESHTech," a Technology-Focused Platform for Asia's Fresh Produce Business
ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA / Asia International Fruit and Vegetable Marketing Exhibition (AFL) is launching a new platform dedicated to fresh produce technology called "FRESHTech." This platform will debut at "ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA 2026," to be held in Hong Kong from September 2-4, 2026.
By combining a curated exhibition zone, a two-day content stage, and the inaugural "FRESHTech Innovation Awards," FRESHTech will create a specialized space for technology providers and the fresh produce business to connect, exchange ideas, and explore solutions applicable across the entire value chain.
A Destination Dedicated to Fresh Produce Technology
At the core of FRESHTech is a newly established exhibition zone of over 1,000 square meters. This area will bring together selected exhibitors covering the entire spectrum of fresh produce technology, including smart farming and yield prediction, post-harvest sorting and grading, packing house automation, cold chain technology, AI and data intelligence, traceability, compliance, sustainability, and carbon management.
Its location within ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA allows technology companies exhibiting here to directly reach AFL's global visitor base of buyers, importers, retailers, and supply chain decision-makers who are actively seeking practical solutions to improve operations across the entire fresh produce value chain.
For technology companies interested in exhibiting, an "all-inclusive exhibition package" is available, which includes a fully equipped booth, presentation slots on the FRESHTech stage, buyer invitation support, networking access, and promotional exposure before, during, and after the event. This package is designed to help exhibitors maximize their visibility through ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA's diverse channels.
For its inaugural edition, major companies such as Daikin, Copeland, Sensitech, Xsense, Aerobotics, DECCO Postharvest, Anhui Lesui, and Sinclair have already confirmed their participation, along with numerous emerging solution providers and innovators.
FRESHTech Stage
Running parallel to the exhibition zone, the "FRESHTech Stage" will feature expert sessions, keynote speeches, and panel discussions over two days. These sessions will explore how innovation is being applied at each critical step of the fresh produce journey, from production to retail.
Day 1: From Field to Port - Focuses on the entire commercial process (from smart production and yield prediction to post-harvest handling, automation, quality control, and cold chain decision-making).
Day 2: From Port to Plate - Shifts the discussion to market access, compliance, traceability, supply chain visibility, retail demand, and consumer-facing innovations.
On both days, speakers with direct commercial experience will share how technologies are being tested, implemented, and scaled across the value chain.
We are seeking speakers! Please contact us for details.
FRESHTech Innovation Awards: Recognizing One Groundbreaking Solution Annually
FRESHTech will host its first-ever "FRESHTech Innovation Awards," organized by ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA, to recognize one groundbreaking technology with the potential to reshape the fresh produce value chain. This award is open to technology companies and innovators with solutions launched in the market since January 2025, highlighting practical innovations in production, post-harvest handling, logistics, supply chain visibility, compliance, sustainability, and retail.
The judging panel for the awards will comprise senior representatives from across the fresh produce value chain, including growers, exporters, retailers, and technology users, to ensure a diverse and independent evaluation. Other jury members will be announced sequentially leading up to the event.
Finalists who make it to the shortlist will have an excellent opportunity to present their solutions to decision-makers by being invited to the FRESHTech Stage. The winner will be announced during "ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA 2026."
