Research is about solving problems and that is the mandate given to Hortgro Science by the South African deciduous fruit industry. Hortgro Science is the research engine of the industry, managing more than a hundred research projects annually. Research initiated and paid for by the industry.
Every second year, industry stakeholders are given an opportunity to gain perspective about the research projects that are taking place to safeguard and improve our industry. For this purpose, Hortgro Science created the Research Showcase focusing on pome and stone fruit research. Most producers do not realise how much work is being done and how many people are involved, and the Showcase creates an opportunity to give context about Hortgro Science’s role in the industry. It is also easier to listen to a presentation rather than reading about a research project.
This year the Showcase will be held at Lord Charles Hotel, Somerset West. The programme is split in a Hortgro Pome Research Day (3 June) and a Hortgro Stone Research Day (4 June). Relevant research projects, showing the extent of the research from the three programmes, Crop Production, Crop Protection, and Postharvest, will be presented.
On 5 June the Showcase will be followed by the Postharvest Symposium, also at Lord Charles Hotel, Somerset West. For more information click here: Postharvest Symposium 2025
