The internationally oriented fair day, the International Soft Fruit Conference was held in Den Bosch on Thursday, following Strawberry Day about which an update already appeared on this channel. On the exhibition floor, we encountered Koreans, Canadians, Americans, Germans, Finns, Eastern Europeans, and of course, Belgians, among others, although of course, they were also present in abundance on Wednesday. Nevertheless, the international content was, in the opinion of our Thursday trade fair team, slightly less than last year.
Alternative substrates are on the rise. Klasmann-Deilmann offers several options. See all photos here.
In terms of new developments, hybrid strawberries from seed were much talked about, as well as themes such as crop protection, for which UV-C robots could be found at the fair, and energy, where fans for optimal air conditioning and anti-condensation foils can help.
Are you already familiar with the Agro-Pure?
On Friday, the Fieldtrip was on the program. Several companies, including Delphy's own International Soft Fruit Centre, will be visited then.
