Market uncertainty and the crisis generated by the invasion of Ukraine are upending the expectations of operators and companies working with the Spanish primary sector, whose main market continues to be Europe. On paper, the situation looks rosy: cold storage facilities and their operators have increased their turnover and the amount of surface area used, and foreign sales shipped by road have grown moderately. However, the high price of electricity and fuel leave companies with less and less room for manoeuvre when weighing up whether to embark on new projects. To find out in detail how everyone in this specialised logistics chain is trying to manage this situation, ”Cold Chain Logistics” - the book you have in your hands - talks to the protagonists, reveals their concerns and analyses the whys and wherefores in search of possible solutions. Furthermore, we must not forget that today, one of the major international events for the global fruit and vegetable industry, Fruit Logistica, is about to get underway in Berlin for the first time since the pandemic. Just over two years later, Messe Berlin is once again welcoming professionals from the primary, transport and logistics sectors and it is doing so under the slogan that says it all: ”Meet onsite again”. Spain is once again among the top three countries participating in the fair. According to Silvia de Juanes, Communications Director for Spain and Latin America, and Messe Berlin’s official representative for Spain, Andorra and Gibraltar, who spoke to us exclusively, ”this comes as no surprise since Spain is one of the leading countries in the international fruit and vegetable trade, and this is reflected both in the number of exhibitors and the space booked”. By the way, in ”Cold Chain Logistics” you will also find updated information about all the Spanish ports that provide services for shippers. Finally, don’t forget that this year Diario del Puerto will be publishing two editions of this Cold Chain Logistics special issue, one in each half of the year. The first edition coincides with Fruit Logistica (Berlin) while the second will be published in October to coincide with the Fruit Attraction (Madrid) and Conxemar (Vigo) trade fairs. Both publications will highlight the trends in this market, showcasing its full potential and providing in-depth information about the industry, via opinions from leading experts in the field who will be giving us their current and future views on the changing, resilient realities of the fruit and vegetable industry’s distribution chain.
