Mixed end result in Moscow

More exhibitors and bigger areas, but distinctly fewer visitors, are the end results of the 19th Flowers IPM Moscow. The event, jointly staged by Messe Essen and fair organisers MVCVVC from 29 August to 1 September, attracted 12 000 visitors, about one-third down on last year’s figure. On the other hand, the number of exhibitors saw an increase of 16 per cent to 524 companies from 15 countries, while the exhibition space was extended by 1 500 m² to a total of 17 500 m². The 20th edition of the fair will take place from 28 to 31 August 2013.
