SIVAL and Vegepolys, France


Vegepolys is a symposium that takes place on 14 January 2014 during the SIVAL horticultural exhibition in Angers, France.

Working with GIS Fruits, a French consortium specialising in research, training and innovation, this year’s Vegepolys event is entitled Protection of Tomorrow’s Orchard and Pome Fruit.

The programme for 14 January starts at 2.00 and ends at 5.00. It will consist of presentations on orchard protection and fruit quality, sustainable production systems, post harvest problems and storage diseases.

Included is a presentation from IFPC (Institut Francais des Productions Cidricoles) on The Cider Orchard of Tomorrow.

The good news for non-French speakers is that simultaneous translation facilities are available with a headset.

SIVAL is a big trade exhibition taking in all aspects of the plant production business, including viticulture, horticulture, arboriculture, seeds, medicinal and aromatic plants, cider, mushrooms, vegetables and tobacco.

You have to register with SIVAL to attend the Vegepolys symposium and we must warn you that the SIVAL website is very difficult to navigate! Registration is free and there will be about 600 exhibitors.

We will report back in our January newsletter.
