Seminar on global financial crisis and its effect on agribusiness at the 76th international agricultural fair in Novi Sad, Serbia - 12 May 2009
Key speakers will deliberate on EU trends in the fresh produce industry and how the global economic crisis is impacting on emerging markets.
The global financial crisis has placed huge pressure on fresh produce suppliers to Europe, limiting consumer spending power and making it more difficult for emerging export markets such as Serbia to establish a strong foothold in the market. The Seminar will provide an analysis of the current international situation, and offer potential solutions to address current export constraints.
Goran Zivkov, agricultural economist and former Serbian Minister of Agriculture will provide an in-depth analysis of how the economic crisis is affecting Serbian food producers, processors, packers and exporters.
Frédéric Rosseneu, policy advisor for Freshfel Europe, the European Fresh Produce Association, which represents more than 170 members of the fruit and vegetable industry in Europe. Within Freshfel, Frédéric deals with European food safety policy, as well as the Common Agricultural Policy. Frédéric will speak about the current European fresh produce market trends.
Bert Wilschut, product manager for Topfruit at The Greenery, will give an overview of the European apple market during the past 5-10 years and how the varietal range has evolved and what new cultivars have been introduced. Bert will also discuss current trends, looking at emerging markets and future expectations for branded apples and club varieties.
Elwira Felgueiras the import director of Berry Gardens, the UK's largest fresh berry supplier, which produces, sources and distributes strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries for the UK retail market, will give an insight into the berry market.
Organized with the support of Eurofruit Magazine and the USAID Agribusiness Project in Serbia, the Seminar expects to attract close to 300 delegates. The program provides delegates with the unique opportunity to network with key European buyers of apples, berries and cherries, as well as key Serbian exporters and international food industry leaders, representatives of the Serbian government, the banking sector and representatives of other Balkans countries. The seminar will take place during one of the largest agricultural fairs in SE Europe, which last year attracted 600,000 visitors.
The Seminar will take place at the Novi Sad Fair, MASTER Congress Center (Main Hall) on Tuesday, 12 May 2009 from 10:00 to 14:00.
