On 17 April 2026, RYPEN will host a dedicated technical symposium in Mola di Bari, bringing together professionals from across the table‑grape supply chain to explore best‑practice post‑harvest management—from vineyard to cold storage.

As the sector faces growing demands around product quality, ethylene management, retailer specifications, cold‑chain performance, and the economic return of stored grapes, this event offers a valuable opportunity to deepen knowledge and share practical strategies that improve post‑harvest outcomes.

Held from 10:45 to 16:00 at Tenuta Pinto (Via Chiancarelle 13), the symposium will feature insights from leading exporters, retailers, agronomists, and post‑harvest specialists, as well as experiences from international supply chains and academic contributors.

Key themes

Participants will explore the most pressing topics in table‑grape preservation, including:

• The importance and impact of ethylene control in table grapes
• Evolving consumer expectations and market trends
• Modern agronomic practices that enhance storability
• Effective temperature management and cold‑chain logistics
• Real‑world performance: RYPEN technology in global shipments
