The most important trends in today’s fruit and vegetable business

The future of fresh produce supply – An in-depth look at emerging sources and new trade patterns in fruit and vegetables

The FRUIT LOGISTICA Trend Report 2026 explores how artificial intelligence and automation are reshaping global fruit and vegetable supply chains. More and more, AI now plays a key role in improving production efficiency, quality control, logistics, and retail forecasting in the fresh produce business. Smart greenhouses, precision irrigation, and autonomous robots are reducing labour dependency and resource waste, while enhancing yields and consistency. In the report, surveyed industry leaders highlight rapid adoption of AI-driven quality grading, predictive crop modelling, and logistics optimisation, and predict future potential in autonomous harvesting, non-destructive quality analysis, and cold chain management.

Read the FRUIT LOGISTICA Trend Report 2026 to find out what these technological developments mean for the future of fresh produce.

The most important European markets at a glance

The ninth edition of the European Statistics Handbook focuses on current developments in the fruit and vegetable markets in Europe. The main focus is on production volumes and international trade in goods. For the first time, this year's edition includes data on Turkey.

In 2025, large parts of Europe were once again affected by extreme weather conditions. Spring frosts, summer droughts and heavy rainfall, among other things, affected supply and thus the markets.

The annual publication offers a practical collection of valuable information on the continent's most important markets and producers, as well as on the most important commodity flows for fruit and vegetables that support the import-export business.

The European Statistics Handbook thus helps companies in the industry to make better and more informed decisions. The publication contains not only figures, but also in-depth analyses that help the industry to understand production, supply and trade data for a wide range of European markets.
