|
On Wednesday 29 June, the Interpera conference will take place in the prestigious Zalmhuis in Rotterdam.
Last month we announced the speakers Cindy van Rijswick (Rabobank) and Helwig Schwartau (AMI) about the most important market developments in pears worldwide. Furthermore, recently new speakers have been added to the program. Hans Steenbergen from Food Inspiration magazine (the world's first digital magazine for food professionals) will close the congress in a visual and compelling way. He will speak about the emerging trends following the Corona-19 crisis, the global challenge and the rise of the Chief Executive Consumer (CEC). What is the foundation for the menu of the future and the role of pears? Hans Steenbergen links food trends to numerous social, demographic and technical developments. He is often referred to as the 'food service philosopher' with creative quotes such as "vegetables and fruit are the most beautiful brands of Mother Earth". |

Who eats which pear?
In addition to market developments, consumer developments are also an important theme during Interpera. Is the pear regaining popularity in Western Europe? The consumption of pears in Europe has been under pressure for years, but is there a turnaround? The Dutch, British and Germans bought an average of 5 percent more pears in 2021 than a year earlier. Consumption also increased in 2020. The Conference pear predominates, but new varieties are emerging. You will hear more details and insight into the growth opportunities during the conference. |

Pear harvest 2021: lowest volume in the past 20 years
In 2021, the pear harvest in the European Union was a quarter lower than in 2020 due to late frosts in the spring. For example, pear growers picked 1.7 billion kilos. This was the lowest volume in the past 20 years. In Italy, the main EU pear producer, the 2021 harvest fell sharply. And Italians only picked 200 million kilos, while the average in the previous 10 years was almost 700 million kilos. What are the harvest expectations for 2022? We give you the first indications during Interpera.

The brown marmorared stink bug
In addition to frost problems, the brown marmorared stink bug has caused considerable damage in Italian pear cultivation in recent years, and is now entering other countries. Professor Lara Maistrello of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia has conducted years of research into the fight against the stink bug. Lara will show the latest research results at Interpera and is hopeful that parasitization can defeat the stink bug. But the fact is that the Italian pear surface has decreased considerably. On the conference day, on 29th June the main language is English. Depending on attendance, there will be translations to : French, Italian and/or Spanish |
