Showcasing the best of UK commercial horticulture, the CHA pavilion will include innovation, new technology and ingenuity, for which the UK sector is renowned.
“We have worked closely with the organisers of Fruit Attraction for a number of years to bring UK companies to this market. It’s an excellent event, giving our members great exposure to potential customers and collaborators from around the world. With the UK commercial horticulture sector’s global reputation for excellence, the CHA pavilion is an unmissable destination for operators and retailers looking for the best of commercial horticulture products and services” commented Lydia Stubbs, CHA Event Manager.
The CHA team will be there to welcome retailers, wholesalers and suppliers from around the world, alongside the Department for Business and Trade (DBT) from the British Embassy in Madrid, who will be on hand to answer questions about importing into and exporting out of the UK market.
