ROUNDTABLE

The International Business Roundtable is a unique opportunity for buyers and sellers to meet one-on-one.

Here, exporters of Latin American (especially Chilean) fresh and dried fruit, vegetables, and organic products have the chance to sit down with visiting buyers such as wholesalers, importers, and supermarket chains from North America, Europe, Asia, and Latin America.

General Information

BUSINESS ROUNDTABLE

WHAT IS IT?

Sellers enter information about their commodities, products, and/or services into the system. Buyers enter information about what they want to purchase. The system creates possible matches enabling buyers and sellers to schedule meetings during PMA Fruittrade 2015.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Everything begins when you register through our web platform. Your participation will be authorized. About one month before the event, the meeting calendars will open and you will be able to set up meetings.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

Prior to the event, you can review the information of the registered participants and ask them for a meeting. They can ask you for a meeting too. These meeting requests can be accepted or rejected. When you arrive at the Business Roundtable salon, your meeting calendar will be structured.

Supermarkets/importers and suppliers will have tables set aside for them in the salon where they can meet with the producers/exporters on their agendas.

WHICH SECTORS PARTICIPATE?

Supermarkets
Importers
Fruit and vegetable wholesalers and distributors
Food service operators
Latin American fruit and vegetable producers/exporters
Industry suppliers with a stand at the Expo

WHO PARTICIPATES?

Production Sector (Producers/Exporters)

These are the farm/production owners or managers who are alert to anticipating change and improving productivity. They are proactive and are generally the first to adopt technology within the sector. Here you can find added value in the different products offered and custom-made solutions to your needs.

Purchasing Sector (Retailers/Brokers/Supermarkets)

The buyers that visit us each year are wholesalers, importers, retailers, supermarket chains, brokers and others, from the primary markets in Europe, Asia, and the Americas, in addition to Chile.

Supplier Sector (Packaging/Nurseries/Technology/Seeds/Inputs/Others)

The services/supply sector of the fruit and vegetable industry is extensive. For the first time, the Business Roundtable is open to this sector, enabling them to have the opportunity, in addition to the exposition, to interact directly with the production sector in the form of face to face meetings, scheduled in advance.

Those registered in the Business Roundtable have access to the exhibition, education sessions, Inaugural Breakfast and the Cocktail Reception, at no additional cost.
