8th INTERNATIONAL SEMINAR 2017
June 28, Sheraton Tucumán Hotel
IN TUCUMAN, OUR LATIN AMERICAN SEMINARS FINISH
An intense calendar of meetings of the blueberry industry that was inaugurated in Guadalajara on June 8, ended in Lima on 13, and has been closed in Tucumán on June 28 with great success.
Unlike the other destinations, Latin American blueberry producers had never met in Tucumán. The management of a crop that is not new in the country had never been analyzed in the region, and the reality and future prospects of the local blueberry industry had never been discussed ... it was a first time and it was a total success.
We are very satisfied to be the first to get to talk and share knowledge with the Tucuman producers, and we are grateful for the great reception we had. Tucumán was the closing of the cycle of International Seminars in the continent. What is coming is the 9th International Seminar that will be held on November 09 in Huelva, Spain.
