Small fruits with great value take center stage!
The 10th edition of Freskon once again brings to the forefront the most dynamic trends in the fruit and vegetable sector, by hosting this coming April a unique Berries Workshop dedicated exclusively to berries — blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, and other “small wonders” of nature that are steadily conquering more and more markets.
The Workshop will bring together leading producers, exporters, traders, food technologists, and researchers from Greece and abroad, offering a dynamic space for exchanging knowledge, experiences, and business opportunities. Through presentations and panel discussions, participants will have the chance to learn about new cultivation technologies, advancements in packaging, international consumption trends, and export prospects.
The Berries Workshop at Freskon 2026 is not just another event — it’s the meeting point for those who see berries as the future of healthy eating and sustainable entrepreneurship.
The “fruitiest” experience of the year!
