• 2012 Edition in Lleida - 14th and 15th juin, 2012
A new impulse for the European pear
The international congress of the Pear which took place this year in Lérida, Spain, is finished on June 15th, after having welcomed 150 participants, coming from the most important pear production zones in Europe, and even beyond, since representatives of Argentina and South Africa were present.
This fifth meeting, co-organized by AREFLH and AFRUCAT was the occasion to focus on the technical topics of this very particular production, but also to share solutions to create new openings to this market that has been weakened these last few years.
Indeed, the general fall of the fruit consumption in Europe, as the fragility of the fruit and the fact that its consumption is not always practical reduce the competitiveness of the production. It is thus important to develop strategic plans of promotion both in Europe and on new markets, to boost the sector on all levels and to ensure a profitable income the producers.
The exchanges between the professionals made it possible to highlight keys for the evolution from the sector. The increase in export to new markets like South America and the United States is an opportunity which was developed, as well as the differentiation by an increase in the quality of the fruit and, lastly, by added-value of the fourth range products, i.e. ready to eat.
As Mr. Trentini, Vice-president of the AREFLH, pointed out, this year the campaign is once again likely to be difficult for the producers because of a deficit of production, but INTERPERA showed that the good terms of the various producing countries and the completing aspect between their various pear varieties can ease competition on the market.
Next year, the congress will widen even more its horizons since it will take place in Argentina, whose production is with the 4th world rank after China, the United States and Italy.
