Registrations are now open for this year’s Prognosfruit, Europe’s leading annual conference for the apple and pear sector. The 2025 edition will take place in Angers, France, from the 6-8 August.

Prognosfruit is organised by Wapa (World Apple and Pear Association) in cooperation with France’s Association Nationale Pommes Poires (ANPP).

Since 1976, Prognosfruit has released the annual forecast of apple and pear production for the upcoming season. This year, the three-day event during which the report will be released will see representatives of the sector gather to discuss the Northern Hemisphere situation as well as global perspectives for apples and pears.

Following the Prognosfruit Conference on 7 August, the delegates will have the opportunity to participate in technical orchard and packhouse visits.

Wapa secretary general Philippe Binard commented: “We look forward to welcoming to Angers all apple and pear experts, with whom Wapa has built an established yet ever growing network to gather and discuss the latest production trends and market developments.

“In the case of this year’s three-day programme, the analysis of the crop forecast for 2025/26 will be complemented by workshops on two key topics for today’s apple and pear sector: processing and sustainability”.

The draft programme of Prognosfruit 2025 and the online registration form to attend the conference are both available on the Prognosfruit website.
