On 2 October, Nunhems, the vegetable seed business of Bayer CropScience, organised the first International Watermelon Conference, which saw experts of various parts of the watermelon supply chain congregate in Valencia, Spain, to exchange experiences, meet contacts and discover new developments in the industry.
At the event, which attracted approximately 200 guests from 12 countries, Nunhems CEO Douwe Zijp, stressed the importance of sharing know-how across disciplines.
“Nunhems is proud to offer this information exchange platform,” he said. “The days when farmers, processors, exporters, importers and food service providers worked independently and focused exclusively on their own specific needs are over.”
A full report from the conference will appear shortly.
