- The Port Authority of València participates in Berlin from today until Friday in Fruit Logistica – the international reference fair for fresh produce – with the aim of showing its strategic connectivity with all corners of the world
- Valenciaport’s infrastructures and facilities guarantee the quality of ‘temperature-controlled transport’ through 92 regular services reaching more than 1,000 ports all over the world
València, 5 February 2025. -Strategic connectivity, service agility, safe facilities and maximum quality in its infrastructures in València, Sagunto and Gandia. These are the key elements of Valenciaport’s presentation at the Fruit Logistica trade fair being held from 5 to 7 February in Berlin. This benchmark event for the refrigerated traffic sector hosts 2,500 exhibitors from 86 countries, making the German event the largest and most international gathering of companies from the international fruit and vegetable sector.
Under the slogan ‘Fruitful Connection’, this event brings together clients, suppliers and professionals from the transport and logistics of temperature-controlled produce, which the Port Authority of València (PAV) attends in a reserved space within the stand of Puertos del Estado.
The Valenciaport commercial team is led by Mar Chao, president of the PAV, and Cristina Rodríguez, head of containers. Thus, during these three days, the Valencian docks are highlighting their excellent international connectivity from their ports of València, Sagunto and Gandia through 92 regular services with more than 1,000 ports around the world.
Likewise, this event promotes the opening up of new commercial relations and the opening up of new markets, which is why it has become an obligatory platform and meeting point for Valenciaport and the international fruit and vegetable operators. Fruit Logistica promotes worldwide exports in the sector and is therefore an important meeting point for all the professionals involved in the entire value chain.
Agility of service and connections with the whole world
Valenciaport is investing – with better facilities, differential services and its commitment to multimodality – in logistics aimed at the traffic of perishable products, an essential sector for many Spanish industries that channel the fruit and vegetables they export to the five continents through the Valencian docks.
An average of around three million tonnes of fish, meat products and fruit and vegetables from all over Spain (fruit, citrus fruits, vegetables, tubers, etc.) enter and leave the Valencian docks every year. This is possible thanks to the reefer connections of its terminals: CSP Iberian (Cosco) has 1,500 connections, APM (Maersk) has 750 and MSC Terminal another 1,000. Infrastructures provided by the terminal companies, to which must be added the warehouse of the Agro Merchants Group company – which has 16,000 square metres destined exclusively for the logistics of refrigerated products – , the 17,000 square metre Border Control Post (PCF) which, through the Guarantee Mark, guarantees that any container taken to these facilities must be checked in less than 45 minutes and the Border Control Post of the Port of Sagunto; all of these facilities have growing demands.
