For the new season, Pinkids® apples will put on the colours of the Trolls World Tour licence to support their stepping-up. Over the past five years, Pinkids® have been an unfailing success, with a 238% increase in volumes sold between 2015 and 2020.

This campaign is part of a strategy of partnerships with high-profile licences initiated several years ago; this initiative has helped PinKids® be perceived as a dynamic brand and as a strong value by retailers and attractive by consumers.

PRESS RELEASE

Borgloon/Berlin, 23rd of February 2020

The European Packaging Forum is a precisely tailored congress event for the fruit and vegetable industry, focusing on marketing, sustainability, traceability, consumer and trade acceptance, innovative solutions, logistics, protection and functionality, hygiene and law. These are the topics that the experts from all stages of the value chain will be discussing on 14 May 2020 in Düsseldorf at Hotel Nikko Düsseldorf. This will be followed by the DFHV Annual Conference on 15 May 2020. 

“I love 5 to 10 servings a day” is the tagline for a campaign now running province-wide in Quebec, Canada, to remind consumers about the importance of eating more fruit and vegetables.

First launched in 2004 by the Quebec Produce Marketing Association (QPMA), the “I love 5 to 10 servings a day” campaign has been given a fresh look and will run from May 2 through June 5.

Fresh produce accounted for 35% of sales of its sales last year, says discount retailer Lidl.

That's up five percentage points on the previous year and reflects the fact it puts freshness at the heart of its product strategy, the German global supermarket chain said in a press release.

Backed by a production noted for high quality standards, Fashion watermelon has been present this season in all Spanish households, thanks to a widespread dissemination and advertising campaign including the country's main audio-visual communication groups. To this end, Europe's ‘seedless’ frontrunner has sponsored TV entertainment shows such as ‘El Hormiguero’, ‘Sálvame’ and ‘Espejo Público’ as well as cookery programmes like ‘Al Punto’, and series such as ‘El secreto de Puente Viejo’ and ‘Amar es para siempre’, among others.

International Sweet Potato Week – taking place March 14 to 24 – will put the spotlight on the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany and Poland.

An initiative of the North Carolina Sweet Potato Commission and the American Sweet Potato Marketing Institute, the week is designed to convince more consumers, chefs and culinary journalist to cook with sweet potatoes.

During the week, a wide range of information, including recipes, cooking methods and facts about sweet potatoes, will be shared via social media.
