Local seminars, international challenges
The one in Mexico was a massive meeting that crowned a semester in which the Latin American blueberry industry met on more than one occasion to raise a common diagnosis, contemplating a look at the current state of each of the local industries and establishing the collective challenges that must be faced.
In the different events there was access to know very good analysis regarding the current commercial opportunities for the export of the fruit.

New actors and new technologies
By way of data, the vast majority of the new orchards that are implemented in Guadalajara, are based on the concept of protected agriculture, with greenhouse technologies and the latest in substrates, bags and coverages.
The industrial cultivation of cranberry is a business that must take care of a global demand that grows an 10% annually, with high demands from consumers and international markets. We must not forget that, although each country has its own realities, the blueberry has become a global crop, which every day more actors are integrated, and in Mexico it grows noticeably. Guadalajara and Jalisco is the area with the largest amount of planted hectares, but new areas such as Michoacán, traditionally dedicated to the cultivation of avocado or avocado, are quickly converted to blueberry cultivation. Many of these new producers were present at the recently completed Seminar, learning about the management of the crop.
This growth is so noticeable that the inaugural words of Julio de la Mora Razura, delegate of the Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock, Rural Development, Fisheries and Food (Sagarpa) of Jalisco, were: "Jalisco is Mexico, and that is due to the berries producers ".
