In order to improve the economic efficiency of berry crops whilst maintaining optimum quality and respecting the environment, our studies focus on:

  • researching new varieties
  • improving production techniques
  • staggering the harvest period
  • crop protection
  • maintaining post-harvest quality.

A Competence Network comprising stakeholders from production, extension and research meets annually to prioritise new topics in response to producer demand (Berry Forum, Extension).
