Day one of the PERU MEET UP brings together representatives from the main Latam producing countries to discuss how to navigate today’s trade turbulence. With a strong focus on innovation, the programme takes an in-depth look at how varietal development and better logistics are driving improvements in key categories including berries, grapes and avocados.
In the first of two market-led sessions, buyers from Asia’s biggest consumer markets share their insights on how to capitalise on growing demand for premium fresh fruit through more effective branding and promotion, while the second looks at ways to increase sales in mature markets like Europe and the US.
With growers under pressure to deliver high-quality, export-grade fruit to all markets, a technology-driven session showcases some the latest developments in breeding, precision agriculture, post-harvest and sorting and grading.
The first day ends with a spotlight on sustainability, looking at the big environmental challenges facing producers, from climate change, water scarcity and pesticides to packaging.
