Fresh Produce Africa (FPA) Rescheduled For 2017
Last week it was decided in a meeting between the different country offices of HPP Worldwide involved in the organization of FPA, the Fresh Produce Africa trade expo for the international vegetable and fruit industries, to reschedule the dates for its first edition. Originally planned to take place in April next year, it was concluded that although the interest on the exhibiting side was much higher than initially expected, more preparation time would be needed to attract and secure a good number of international buyers to attend.
For this reason FPA will now take place one year later from Wednesday April 26 to Friday April 28 in 2017, at the same venue as was planned for 2016, namely The Oshwal Center in Parklands, Nairobi.
We trust you will all understand the rescheduling of this important trade event, as it is in everybody’s interest that the first edition will become a great success. The dates for the expo just came too quick and the international visitor’s promotion efforts came under pressure and would have affected the outcome, if continued for coming April.
