Robotic harvesters, advanced sensors, pollinator attractants, an online market place to reduce waste, and decision support systems for improved traceability and productivity – are among the technologies to be presented by members of Agri-Tech East, in an exciting new Innovation Insights feature at Fruit Focus, 17th July 2019, East Malling Research Centre.

Innovation Insights at Fruit Focus

Fruit Focus Innovation InsightsThis will be the first time that the Agri-Tech East  has had a presence at Fruit Focus.

“Last year we took Innovation Insights to Cereals and the format – lightning presentations of a wide range of emerging technologies – proved very popular with farmers and growers,” explains Belinda Clarke, Director of Agri-Tech East. “The networking session was animated and provided an excellent opportunity for people to discuss their particular issues directly with others who might have a solution.

“Industry input is vital to ensure that emerging technologies are fit for purpose and our members are looking forward to gaining this input and a better understanding of the issues that growers are facing.”

Fruit Focus is the leading technical event for producers of soft and orchard fruit and vines. It is attended by about 2,000 growers and industry professionals. Limited free tickets are available for members; please contact us for the discount code.

  • Consus Fresh has developed an intelligent software-based system to reduce the burden of audits, improve efficiency and increase productivity.
  • Lincoln Institute for Agri-Food Technology (LIAT), a world leading university developing cutting-edge technologies for agriculture and horticulture, will be showcasing their latest thinking around novel glasshouse design for fruit production.
  • Prodata Weather Systems is a specialist UK supplier of cost-effective weather-monitoring equipment.
  • Hutchinsons is a leading agronomy company and provides advice independent of manufacturers and supported by an in-house research and development programme.
