Blueberries Consulting's International Blueberry Seminars cycle is coming to Huelva this year
The Cranberry 2017 International Seminars cycle organized by Blueberries Consulting and AGQ Labs International will close its edition this year in Huelva. This province has been chosen as a reference for the production of this berry in the European and North African zone.
The convening of these working days responds to the idea that the globalization of markets implies having intercontinental knowledge of research, about the use of new technologies and specific local innovations.
These expert cycles began in the year 2014 in Chile and in these three years they have been spreading through various Latin American countries: Peru, Mexico and this year for the first time Argentina and Spain. This year, for the first time, there will be a leap towards European production through Huelva, a province in which cranberry production began a decade ago although the volume is incipient, it is expected to multiply in the coming years.
The Huelva program is still being developed as the appointment will be after summer, the November 09 in the municipality of Punta Umbría. The intention of this 9º International Seminar is to share experiences with Huelva blueberry producers as one of the areas of great projection in this crop, as well as its technological capacity and scientific work related to agriculture.
