Beijing. The international fruit fair organised by Cesena Fiera will take place at the Rimini Fiera from 10 to 12 May with China and Basilicata as partners. China is a strategic market for Italian fruit and vegetable produce (Italy is Europe’s prime producer of kiwis with 500,000 tonnes). Basilicata is Italy’s leading strawberry-growing region (with approximately 1000 hectares) which will shape communication and a series of institutional activities and events connected to producers from Basilicata. The 2017 edition of the fair was presented in recent days in Beijing at the Italian Chamber of Commerce’s ‘Spazio Italia’ in China. (9colonne)
