In 2012 Spain will register a decrease of 24% of his production of apple, with a descent of 21% with regard to the average of the last 3 years. In effect, in comparison with the 507.000 tonnes of 2011, the forecast is of 384.000 tonnes. This is the conclusion of the 36 edition of Prognosfruit, the conference organised by the WAPA, ‘World Apple and Pear Association', that celebrated in Toulouse of the 2 to the 4 of the past August. To European level the production of apple would have to reach roughly 9.739.000 tonnes, with a reduction of 924.000 tonnes -equivalent to 9%- with regard to the data of 2011. Anyway, the situation varies a lot of a country to another: whereas for the old Europe foresee considerable descents (for Italy the data presented in Prognosfruit indicate a -13% with regard to 2011, and for France foresees an upper decrease to 30%), east Europe promises good results, that oscillate between 12% foreseen for Poland and 39% of Hungary.
In this so dynamic context will celebrate the eighth edition of Interpoma, the only international fair of the sector that will develop in Bolzano of the 15 to 17 November 2012. Also this year, during the evento will organise the international congress ‘The apple in the world', the biennial appointment that in his opening day will present a conference devoted to the global analysis of the production, the commercialisation and the consumption, as well as a study of the economic situation of the producing companies and the organisation of the commercial structures in the greater European regions in which it cultivates the apple.
Reinhold Marsoner, director of Fiera Bolzano, explains: “The coyuntura economic current imposes us important reflections about the future of all the sector of the apple and of the strategies to apply in an immediate future. Interpoma 2012, with the international congress of high level that has organised , posits like ideal headquarters to debate the subjects of greater actuality that atañen to the sector”.
