FRANKFURT WHOLESALE MARKET

The modern trading platform

Frankfurt fresh produce centre opened in June 2004. The site covers 13.3 hectares and offers a modern exchange facility where sellers and retailers meet to trade their wares. The innovative overall concept is the result of careful planning, making the fresh produce centre one of Germany 's most modern sites for wholesaling fresh food. Key features are the highly functional facilities, the latest technology, time-saving layout and a wide range of produce. Some 120 food wholesalers, importers, regional growers and sellers of specialities offer a “one-stop” opportunity to buy a comprehensive and varied range of fresh produce.

Vital pre-conditions to guarantee the freshness and quality of the goods traded are that the market is very easy to reach and is close to Frankfurt airport.
