It is positioned as the key platform for the discussion of trends, challenges and opportunities of the cherry industry worldwide.
The Summit offers participants a comprehensive overview of the variables influencing the growth and development of this crop that continues to set milestones, with a special focus on marketing, supply and demand, analysis of emerging markets and communication strategies to maximize reach and success in the industry.
“Our industry has experienced significant growth in recent years and will undoubtedly continue to do so in light of the work we are doing to increase penetration in current markets, diversify markets and boost the quality of cherries,” says Claudia Soler, executive director of the Cherry Fruit Committee of Chile. “For this reason, it is essential to participate in the Cherry Summit, an event that we are proud of for the transformation it has had at a national and international level,”

"We are committed to offering top-level content that responds to the needs and expectations of all the actors in the cherry value chain," explains Gustavo Yentzen, CEO of Yentzen Group.
