Interpera 2026: tickets now on sale

Interpera 2026, the prestigious international conference dedicated to the pear sector, will take place on 25 and 26 June 2026 in Ferrara, Emilia-Romagna, the region that has historically been the heart of pear production in Italy and accounts for around 60% of the country’s cultivated area and production. The event will be organised by CSO Italy, on behalf of AREFLH (Assembly of European Horticultural Regions), and will bring together leading experts and producers from the sector’s key countries: Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal and France, thus offering a strategic meeting point to analyse and outline the future of a crop that is fundamental to agriculture.

To ensure a comprehensive overview of the sector, Interpera 2026 will be structured around three key sessions:

• 25 June morning – Economic Session: An in-depth analysis with initial estimates for the 2026/2027 season. Market trends, consumption outlooks and new commercial development strategies will be discussed.
• 25 June, afternoon – Technical Session: A panel of international experts will explore current agronomic challenges, from combating climate change to the implementation of sustainable farming techniques, right through to innovation beyond just plant varieties.
• 26 June – Technical Visits: A day dedicated to the ‘field’, with guided tours of leading local producers to experience the innovation and quality of the pear production.

To facilitate discussions and networking among participants, the programme also includes social events, such as the Welcome Cocktail on the evening of 24 June to welcome the international delegations, and the Gala Dinner on the evening of 25 June, an exclusive opportunity to strengthen relationships among supply chain stakeholders. 

For CSO Italy, hosting Interpera 2026 represents a crucial opportunity to reaffirm Italy’s role, promote the excellence of the product, and encourage the exchange of experiences to give new impetus to a key product of the Italian agricultural economy. 

Interpera 2026 will take place under the patronage of the Municipality of Ferrara, in collaboration with UNAPera, and will be sponsored by CIV-Consorzio Italiano Vivaisti and UNITEC.

All information regarding the event and the link to the ticket office are available at www.interpera.org.
