PMA Fruittrade Latin America: Technical sessions will address the current situation of the Chilean fruit sector
With more than 2.250 attendees and 150 exhibiting companies, Fruittrade Latin America is a two-day conference where the global fruit and vegetable industry meets to generate new contacts, knowledge and business opportunities in Latin America.
After a successful 2014 version, this year the event will be held in 11 and 12 in November in Santiago, Chile, an occasion in which the Chilean fruit industry will once again show its progress, success stories, challenges and the work it does to continue being recognized in the international markets.
A series of technical sessions will bring attendees closer to current events in the sector. These will cover the table grape, citrus, avocado, cherry, dried fruit, pome, stone, berry and kiwi industries. A session will also be devoted to vegetables.
In the case of table grapes, you can learn about nursery production, post-harvest techniques and packaging trends that can return profitability and prominence to this species, as well as new technologies to cope with water scarcity.
Likewise, the session on berries will identify the key global markets for their consumption, while in pomáceas will be discussed, among other topics, on competitive strategies, the reconversion of orchards and the promotion of apple products.
On the cherry side - where Chile expects record production - it will address how producers can satisfy Chinese buyers and diversify into new markets.
On the other hand, in citrus the consistent volume and the high quality of the Chilean product will stand out; in kiwi the logistic and commercial processes will be explored, such as the programs for the improvement of ripening at destination until pre-conditioning; and in avocado, given the challenges in relation to limited water supply, unique and innovative ways of how producers are addressing this problem will be explored.
In nuts you will explore the success of nuts, hazelnuts and others. In addition, the potential of new crops such as pine nuts, figs and chestnuts will be reviewed.
