In Holland Andrea Colpo with dr.

Important moment of comparison - among other things - with interesting presentations on the propagation techniques of small fruits with different cultivation techniques and focus on re-flowering varieties with production in "greenhouse".
Recently then (20-21 June) Federico Stanzani participated in the eighth edition of the Berry Fruit Congress 2023 organized by Freshuelva at Casa Colón in Huelva: the most important international conference for the soft fruit sector with the participation of producers, distributors and exporters together with service providers operating in the sector. Huelva has in fact the largest production area of berry fruits (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries) in Europe. On this occasion Stanzani had the opportunity to meet - together with our local collaborator T&V CONSULTING of Rafael Vargas and Francisco M. Tirado Monge - the operating Partners and Licensees strawberries CIV in the Territories of Spain/Morocco, valuable collaborators of the consortium of Ferrara.
CIV will then be present on July 12th, 2023 with its own stand - organized by our partner Idris Consulting - at the next edition of the UK Event FRUIT FOCUS at NIAB in Est Malling. With the occasion will be presented the most recent varieties from of our different research programs of breeding of strawberry to be developed on a global scale. "Our work has a truly global dimension - concludes Grossi - we collaborate with the most important European and international public and private bodies (e.g. UK, Canada, USA, New Zealand, Mexico, etc.) thanks to a CIV Strawberry Portfolio extremely articulated and complete to be able to better meet the needs of growers of different geographical areas depending on the production system (cultivation in open field, above ground, in greenhouses, hydroponics, etc.) and of the global distribution.”
