FAQ's
Is FRUIT LOGISTICA open to the general public?
No, the event is strictly for trade visitors. During the online registration process, you must provide your company details and job function. This ensures that the exhibition remains a professional environment for business transactions and high-level technical exchange.
Do my tickets include free local public transport?
Historically, Messe Berlin tickets do not include free public transport (VBB). You will need to purchase separate tickets for the S-Bahn, U-Bahn, and buses. A "Berlin AB" day ticket costs approximately $10.00 and can be purchased at any station kiosk or via the BVG app.
What is the "Organic Route"?
The Organic Route is a specialized guide (available via the app and printed map) that highlights all exhibitors who have certified organic products in their portfolio. This makes it easier for buyers specifically looking for organic produce to navigate the 27+ halls efficiently.
Can I take samples of fruit and vegetables from the booths?
While many exhibitors offer tastings at their booths, the removal of large quantities of produce from the exhibition halls is strictly prohibited for phytosanitary and security reasons. On the final day (Friday), some exhibitors may distribute surplus produce to charity organizations, but visitors are not permitted to "shop" the exhibition floor.
Is there a mobile app for the 2026 event?
Yes, the "FRUIT LOGISTICA App" is updated annually. It includes a full exhibitor directory, interactive 3D hall plans, a personal session planner for the stages, and a networking tool to contact other attendees. It is highly recommended to download it before arriving to save time at the entrances.
