International Postharvest Symposium in 2024 in Rotorua, New Zealand

The Postharvest 2024 program now includes three conferences – the IX International Symposium on Postharvest ISHS, the VII International Symposium on Postharvest Pathology and the X International Symposium on the Effects of Fruits and Vegetables on Human Health (FAVHEALTH 2024), which will be held simultaneously at the Center Rotorua events.

The event offers an excellent opportunity to meet leading experts in the field of postharvest pathology, postharvest pathology and horticultural health related research. We will combine high-quality scientific presentations with engaging workshops and informal discussions, with a particular focus on young and early-career researchers and graduate students. The event will also include a tour of the Te Puke region and a conference dinner on the stunning Hobbiton film set.

New Zealand’s location and export focus requires research and innovation to deliver premium garden products to distant markets. Post-harvest pathology is an important part of post-harvest systems and the growing interest and emphasis on health-promoting products makes these three areas a topic of widespread interest. New Zealand’s experience in these areas makes it an obvious choice to host the symposium.

Complementing the scientific aspects of the symposium will be an entertainment programme, including social activities and opportunities to enjoy the unique culture of Aotearoa/New Zealand and Rotorua, a world-famous tourist destination.
