Last week in Bari, in Italy’s Puglia region, RYPEN hosted a dedicated technical event in partnership with Italian distributor Bartolomeo D’Aprile, bringing together key stakeholders from across the Italian table grape industry. The event created a collaborative space for open discussion between breeders, growers, technical experts, packaging specialists and exporters, all united by a shared focus on fruit quality.

Throughout the day, discussions highlighted how decisions made at every stage of the supply chain — from orchard to export — directly influence final condition and consumer satisfaction. A strong emphasis was placed on aligning agronomy, packaging and post‑harvest strategies to meet the demands of modern markets.

The discussions explored:

• Understanding ethylene dynamics in table grapes
• Consumer demands and the evolution of taste preferences
• Modern agronomy: practices, insights and new developments
• Strategic use of pallet covers to preserve rachis condition – Italian table grapes
• Smart cold storage solutions for modern supply chains
• Real‑world results: how RYPEN performs across global supply chains

Data‑driven insights and practical experiences demonstrated how targeted post‑harvest interventions can improve consistency, extend freshness and reduce quality risk across long and complex supply chains.

RYPEN and It’s Fresh would like to sincerely thank all speakers, panellists and participants who contributed to the success of the event.
