The Prognosfruit Conference is Europe’s leading annual event for the apple and pear sector, bringing together growers from across Europe and beyond. Prognosfruit 2026 will take place in Constance, Germany, from 5 to 7 August 2026 and will mark a special milestone, celebrating 50 years of uninterrupted editions of the event. Registration is now open, and stakeholders are welcome to register via the Prognosfruit website.

Prognosfruit, the leading annual event for the apple and pear sector, will be held in Constance, Germany, from 5 to 7 August 2026. Prognosfruit 2026 is organised by WAPA in cooperation with BVEO (Bundesvereinigung der Erzeugerorganisationen Obst und Gemüse e.V.). Registration is now available on the Prognosfruit website.

Since 1976, Prognosfruit has published the annual forecast of apple and pear production for the upcoming season, with the conference taking place in a different country each year. In 2026, during the three-day event in which the report will be released, sector representatives will gather to discuss the situation in the Northern Hemisphere as well as global perspectives for apples and pears. Following the Prognosfruit Conference on 6 August, delegates will have the opportunity to take part in technical visits focused on juice production and fruit research.

“We are proud to host Prognosfruit in one of Europe’s most important fruit-growing regions. Lake Constance offers the perfect setting to discuss the future of the apple and pear sector,” said BVEO Managing Director Dr Christian Weseloh.

The Prognosfruit 2026 programme, the online registration form for the conference, and the link to book accommodation in Constance are all available on the Prognosfruit website. Register by 7 June 2026 to benefit from the Early Bird fee, and book your accommodation by 22 June 2026 to take advantage of discounted rates at selected hotels in Constance. Due to the Konstanzer Seenachtfest, the famous lakeside festival taking place on 8 August 2026, the city of Constance experiences high demand for accommodation in early August.
