With the theme "Advancing the global production and trade of minor tropical fruits for sustainable markets", ISTF 2025 aims to promote the economic and nutritional value of minor tropical fruits as well as identify challenges and opportunities in production, post-harvest management, marketing, and trade.
Organizers hope that ISTF2025 will strengthen partnerships among growers, researchers, policymakers, traders, and international organizations.
