Sustainability starts with our Organic Route – and goes far beyond, all the way to our partnership with Berliner Tafel e.V.
Cooperation with Berliner Tafel e.V.
For over 30 years, we have worked with the Berliner Tafel, supporting around 130,000 people in Berlin every month.
At FRUIT LOGISTICA, the Berliner Tafel is in full action:
After the fair, hundreds of volunteers collect fresh fruit and vegetables from exhibitors’ stands and distribute them to social organizations.
Result 2026: 45 tons of food saved.
This ensures that high-quality products are not wasted, and the resources used to produce them – water, energy, and labor – are put to good use.
We sincerely thank all exhibitors and the Berliner Tafel for their ongoing commitment.


You are an exhibitor and want to donate food?
It’s easy:
- On the last day of the fair, volunteers provide stickers from the Berliner Tafel.
- Mark the products you wish to donate.
- After the fair closes, these items are collected and distributed.
A simple action with a huge impact
