A look back - History of the Fruit Symposia
FRUTIC looks back on a long-standing tradition of international exchange. The first symposium took place in Israel in 1983. Since then, FRUTIC has been hosted in various countries around the world – each time bringing together researchers, industry experts, and practitioners to share knowledge and drive innovation in the fresh produce sector. In 2026, the symposium returns under the organisation of Leibniz Institute for Agricultural Engineering and Bioeconomy (ATB) – and once again offers a unique opportunity to connect science and industry at Fruit Logistica.
