Italy: Second edition of the International Symposium on Tomatoes
In 2015, professors from the University of Jerusalem and Israeli experts from the Volcani Institute talked about genetics, phytosanitary defence, traceability and food security.
This second edition will focus on traceability, food security, climate change and its consequences on the production sector as well as on the new viruses that might damage productions. In addition, the private auction system, one of the essential elements of Spain's commercial system, will also be analysed.
Gianni Polizzi and Massimo Mirabella
National and international speakers will include: ANOVE (the Spanish seed association) Secretary General Antonio Villaroel, Unica Group President Pepe Portero, Unica Group Marketing Director Enrique Los Rios, Valfrutta General Director Stefano Soli and Coop Italia Purchasing Manager Claudio.
The convention is organised in partnership with Assosementi. All the leading seed companies operating in Sicily will take part, including Isi sementi, Syngenta, Nuhnmes, Med Hermes and many more. Companies producing fertilisers and technical tools such as Bayer, Syngenta, Sapec, Dow Agrosciences, Chimiberg, Sumitomo, Siriac, Microspore and B4Green will also attend.
