Home / QSOL IT News / Agri Tech / Fruit Focus 2023 – Agri-TechE


It’s Wimbledon week so the focus is on strawberries – one of the great success stories for innovation in fruit production. Breeding at East Malling has resulted in an extension of the strawberry fruiting season to create a highly profitable product for the industry. More innovation will be featured at Fruit Focus on 12th July 2023 at NIAB East Malling, Kent.
