Tomato Day Conference : Healthy Redvolution: #tootomato #toogood
Thursday 24 October 10.30-12.30 – CIBUS TEC – SALA PIETRO BARILLA – HALL 1
 
After years of steady growth, the rise in consumption of tomato products globally has been slowing down, especially in more mature markets in Western Europe, including Italy, and in North America. After analyzing the preliminary global processing tomato 2019 production figures, conference speakers will look at current initiatives by industry organizations and by private companies to promote tomato products worldwide and discuss further opportunities to fuel more growth, before presenting the next WPTC congress which will be held in Argentina in March 2020.  
 
The conference will be moderated by Sonia Neves da Silva, President of AMITOM.
