CHA UK group at GreenTech announced

The Commercial Horticultural Association (CHA) has announced its exhibitor line-up for GreenTech Amsterdam 11 to 13 June at RAI Amsterdam.

The UK exhibitors are set to meet global growers and breeders, who attend to learn more about how to grow and optimise production in vegetable, floriculture, glass and open field horticulture.

GreenTech is the number one international horticulture technology platform, where industry professionals from across the world come to connect, network and share knowledge. In 2023, the event attracted 11,500 visitors to see the 540 exhibitors from over 128 countries.

“We are delighted to bring a group of British exporters to this innovative event once more. Our companies demonstrate the creativity and ingenuity, for which UK agri-tech is renowned the world over”, commented Emma Brazier, Event Manager for the CHA. “The UK exhibitors and the CHA team are looking forward to meeting a diversity of growers and breeders”.

CHA will have an industry information stand within the UK exhibitor group where members of the team can provide information on the UK horticulture market and assist international growers and breeders with contacts for UK exporters. UK representatives are also welcome to visit the group and learn the many benefits of becoming a member of the CHA.
