UK: Photo report British Tomato Conference 2014

Under the motto "An invitation to innovation", the British Tomato Grower's Association Conference took place last week at the Chesford Grange Conference Centre in Warwick. The event, which took of on Wednesday with the annual TGA Dinner, attracted a wide audience from the industry ; from a large sum of tomato growers and horticulturists to industry body representatives, researchers, consultants and suppliers. This year the event attracted a record number of exhibitors and together with the varied and broad conference program, the TGA Conference again has proved to be the number one networking and educating event for greenhouse tomato industry in the United Kingdom.

It is not a secret that the British greenhouse tomato growers form a very close greenhouse industry that is extremely supportive to each other. The growers are not afraid to share their knowledge and combine their forces to tackle problems, embrace new innovations. This is underlined by the TGA and their Annual conference; an event that further contributes to the efficiency of the British tomato industry and the position of the British tomato.

The conference speakers covered several technical, commercial and legislative issues as well as topics from the retail side of the industry. Together with an extended selection of exhibition booths, the conference was an excellent educational networking occasion.

In the coming weeks we will publish several articles on the topics that were discussed during the conference program. For now, please enjoy our photo report!
