Another great day and event has come to an end! Our SEKOYA® Team had a fantastic time connecting with old and new friends at the Fruitnet Berry Congress in Rotterdam 🌍 It is always a pleasure sharing our SEKOYA® #blueberry varieties with other berry enthusiasts and exchanging ideas! 🫐 We had a great representation of SEKOYA® Members as well with Agrovision, North Bay Produce, Inc, abbGrowers B.V. and Prize. Alexis Simões, Key Account Manager for Fall Creek® and SEKOYA®, shared our vision and discussed the power of new varieties that will benefit the entire value chain on stage with Maura Maxwell. The Fruitnet team yet again did a wonderful job putting together a diverse group of speakers and panels that ignited a lively discussion on how we can shape the future of the industry. One conclusion that we can draw is that we may be competitors, but we all have a common goal, and if we want to grow the category and bring it to the next level, we are stronger together! There is plenty of room for growth, and healthy competition will continue to motivate us and drive innovation, so consumers around the world can enjoy better quality berries year-round! 💙 #sekoyafruit #livieblueberries #sekoyafieldandforum #thebetterberryinside #crunchyselection #blueberry #berries #freshproduce #fruitsandvegetables #AWorldWithBetterBlueberries #fruitnetberrycongress #berrycongress
