The themes which will be investigated during the conference will be focused on specific and emerging problems of the processing tomato sector.
The situation of the international market: scenario and perspectives
The globalization of markets imposes an inevitable comparison with the up coming international problems.
This reflection will be dealt with a careful analysis of the available data, that will give the idea of the international reality.
In this context all the sessions will focus on different levels, through qualified contributions of international value, to draw the present situation and to underline the perspectives that can be open to the sector.
It is useful to explain that the three-day-congress has the partnership of Associations of producers and companies, as well as the patronage of many institutions and organizations.
Thanks to these contributions, it will be possible to present some specific data through dedicated focuses on emerging and significant realities.
Primary Production and related problems
All sessions include a moment of analysis of the reality of the primary production and its related problems.
Through a 360° reflection of all the stages of the production attendees can correctly distinguish and identify the added value that different actors of the chain give to the finished product.
Agricultural techniques, genetic improvement related to the quality of the finished products, organic products, but also phytosanitary problems will be part of the discussion of this session.
Furthermore, thanks to a detailed analysis, the relationships between the consumption of products and human health will be carefully approached, in particular the new frontiers of nutrition, a fascinating theme which needs to be related to scientific progress.
Technological aspects, environmental aspects
The process of tomato is a relatively simple process, which is now passing through an evolutionary stage, as for packaging, new trends and technologies are improving, even according to the destination of different products.
The great distribution chain requires such characteristics, which are precise in terms of identification and traceability. The understanding of these characteristics and the possibilities of finding answers to their related problems represents a starting point for the identification of new perspectives.
The renewed attention to the environment, which is liable to food production, also imposes an analysis of the most modern technological solutions, suitable for the management of different problems related to primary production and processing.
Impact on the new OCM on the European Productive Reality
The new market regulation of the European Union - OCM - caused and will cause a great impact on the international system of the processing tomato.
The old European scenario and its relationships with other countries is now living a consistent revolution.
An international symposium as Tomato World Forum must necessarily aim to analyse the scenario which is now determining the balances that are being established among both European and Overseas great producing countries.
