Singapore, 18th December: Despite a three-week (and hopefully permanent) break from violent protests, Hong Kong has suffered its first loss of a B2B exhibition. Until now, there has been one cancelation (Diversified Communications’ Seafood Expo Asia) and one conference led-exhibition relocation to Bangkok (Terrappin’s Asia Rail Expo).

This week, Asia Fruit Logistica (AFL) announced that in 2020, the exhibition will be held at Singapore EXPO. While in Hong Kong, AFL was held at AsiaWorld-Expo.  Next year, AFL will take place from 16th to 18th September at the Max Atria wing of Singapore EXPO. The organiser, Global Produce Events (GPE) cited the violent protests in Hong Kong as the reason for the relocation.
