Macfrut and Sival, Italian-French partnership in the fruit and vegetable sector

16 January 2019

The internationalisation process of Macfrut, the international trade fair for the fruit and vegetable sector, to be held from 8 to 10 May in Rimini (Italy), continues: this time, the protagonist is France. In fact, the signing of a partnership between Macfrut and Sival, the trade fair for plant production and services based in Angers (France), was announced this morning at a press conference held during the 2019 edition of the French trade fair.

The agreement covers three main projects. International Asparagus Days, the specialised event on asparagus that was held in October 2018 at the Cesena Fiera exhibition centre, which attracted great interest from visitors and exhibitors, will be held annually, alternately in Italy and France. Therefore, the next edition will be held on 29-30 October 2019 in Angers and, in 2020, it will return to Italy. The second project concerns Macfrut 2019, where there will be a French pavilion, organised by Sival. In 2020, this initiative will be repeated (third project) the other way around: Macfrut will be present at the Sival trade fair in France with an Italian pavilion.

‘We are very pleased to be partners with Sival,’ Renzo Piraccini, President of Macfrut, explained. ‘We have many common interests, since we both focus on promoting the fruit and vegetable supply chain. For us, this is yet another step towards internationalisation, which is aimed at expanding Macfrut and creating opportunities for companies participating in trade fairs abroad.’

‘We are proud to launch this partnership with Macfrut, which represents a step forward in SIVAL's international development. This growth can benefit everyone, our exhibitors, the supply chains and the territory. We are close to Macfrut team and I am sure that this partnership will be fruitful.’ – explained Bruno Dupont, President of Sival.

This period of the year, many lawns are damaged by beetle larvae. B-Green, based on parasitic nematodes, provides you with an efficient, fast and, above all, 100% biological solution. The most commonly occurring beetle pest is the larvae of the garden chafer (Phyllopertha horticola). They can usually be found just underneath the turf, where they eat the roots. Parts of your lawn will die and become detach. »

Rise in new varieties, positive outlook for the start of the new season

22 August 2019

Following a 2017/2018 year which ended early due to a lack of supply, the 2018/2019 season has been the opposite for the South Tyrolean Consortium. An extremely challenging year saw prices collapse in autumn after a very plentiful European harvest. “The new harvest in South Tyrol promises to be of good quality, with volumes in line with the past season, albeit - unfortunately - with smaller sizes - comments CEO of VOG Gerhard Dichgans »
