Annual Technical and Trade Symposium 2026

28 – 29 May | Kronenburg, Paarl

Tagline

Shaping the berry future requires collaboration, shared insight, and the courage to look ahead together.

Following a break last year due to the IBO Summit, Berries ZA is delighted to once again welcome our Primary Members, Associate Members, valued stakeholders across the value chain, and partners in the broader fruit sector.

As the successes and global interest in our industry have grown over the past few years, so too has the value of gathering together through our annual Technical and Trade Symposium.

With a new, larger venue secured to accommodate our expanding community, we look forward to two days of meaningful dialogue. Together we will reflect on the successes and challenges of the past year, while focusing on the opportunities ahead and the foundations that continue to support the growth of our sector.

We extend our sincere thanks in advance to the sponsors who partner with us to make this event possible. The symposium provides a valuable in-person opportunity to engage with the broader value chain, connect with peers, and spark conversations that may lead to solutions for current industry challenges.

This year’s programme features a strong line-up of discussions, covering key technical topics relating to on-farm and post-harvest variables, alongside broader industry and trade conversations. Delegates can expect valuable insights into the economics shaping our sector and updates on progress within the trade environment.

For our members, the event will conclude with our Annual General Meeting, where your participation remains vital to the continued strength of our industry.

We look forward to welcoming you on 28–29 May as we come together to help shape the berry future.
