Freshfel’s structure

Freshfel Europe is structured around a Board which is enhanced by several Divisions and Committees with dedicated missions and topics. Freshfel organises its work in a flexible manner according to the evolving needs of its Members and to better respond to these emerging expectations. Within the international environment, Freshfel holds physical meetings whenever appropriate and feasible, and also holds various teleconferences on matters of immediate concern in order to approximate positions and react promptly.

The Board consists of the Association’s President, Vice-President and the Treasurer. Each of the Divisions (Import; Export; Production; Wholesale and Distribution, and Retail) and Committees (Food Safety and Sustainability; Promotion and Communication, Convenience, Bananas, and Citrus) has one Chairman and one Vice-Chairman. All Board members are elected for a mandate period of two years. The Board was elected by the 2016 AGM which took place in Brussels (Belgium) in June 2016 for the 2016/2018 term of activities. Besides the Board assignments which are ad personam, Freshfel operates in an open manner, inviting all its members and associated members to attend the regular meetings organised by the Association on topical and emerging issues.
