Almost time for the best event in pears! Interpera 2022
The consumption of pears in Europe has been under pressure for a number of years, but is there a turnaround? Germans, British and Dutch bought an average of 5 percent more pears in 2021 than a year earlier. This after strong growth in 2020. Will this continue? And what are the harvest and sales expectations for the coming season? You will hear it during Interpera 2022.
