The postharvest of Chilean fruit is a vital stage for the export fruit industry in its competitive level and its value in world markets, especially the most important and distant ones, such as Europe and Asia. The quality of the fruit and its condition when it reaches the final consumer has become a strategic objective for producers and exporters.
In the XXV International Seminar on Blueberries & Cherries, which will begin this April 13 at Monticello, the different aspects directly and indirectly related to the quality and condition of the fruit once harvested and on its journey to the final consumer will be addressed.
The selection, packaging, land and sea transfer, travel conditions of the fruit and distribution of the product to the final consumer, will be addressed by the renowned specialists in blueberry and cherry postharvest, Bruno Defilippi, with "All or nothing: optimizing postharvest for quality fruit"; John Paul Zoffoli, with the talk "Cherry postharvest: experience of the 2022 / 23 season"; Jessica Rodriguez, with "Managements to consider to ensure a good arrival in the destination markets" and Victor Hugo Escalona, with "Innovations in post-harvest technologies for cherries destined for distant markets".
