AgroBelgrade Fair at the end of January
For the fourth year in a row, AgroBelgrade Fair, a specialized fruit, vegetable and wine fair will gather producers, suppliers and traders from Serbia and the wider region, at the same place. The fair will take place in Belgrade between January 26 and 28.
The increase in fruit, vegetable and wine production in Serbia in the recent past led to an increased interest in having a professional gathering in Serbia, which would aim to position Belgrade as a regional hub for trade, knowledge exchange and facilitation of partnerships between domestic and international buyers, retailers and distributors.

The workshop is organized in a frame of PIB project Netherlands-soft-fruit. Read More…
