We often start the beginning of February with a photo written report of the IPM Essen - and at that time not sleep together that it would be one of our last shows to assist in 2020 . A week later , our colleagues from HortiDaily visited the Fruit Logistica in Berlin , where the effect of the coronavirus started to take shape . The Formosan hall was empty and the flowered diligence exporting to China is feel the first impacts and the first exhibitions in China started to announce the postponement of their shows .
Being a Taiwanese ' trouble ' at first , further in the month of February , it became unclouded that this unknown Coronavirus would become more and more a global job as it hit Italy and Myplant & Garden decided to defer their show as well .
Fortunately , some exposition were able to continue , like Horticontact in the Netherlands and HorEx in Vietnam .
Growers were quite pleased with Valentine ’s daylight this year , despite conditions conditions and the situation in China made it challenge this year .
Below are the highlights :
