Estonian and Latvian fruit and berry industries are facing similar problems today. According to various studies, locally grown fruit and berries and the related food products are very attractive to Estonian and Latvian consumers, as they are associated with higher healthiness and lower price than imported fruit. However, currently imported products strongly dominate the markets of both countries. Statistical data indicates that fruit and berry consumption in Latvia and Estonia remains considerably below EU average.

Local fruit growers and food manufacturers fail to meet the market demand largely due to market failures associated with obsolete technologies of storage and processing, resulting in shorter storage period and lower competitiveness of products. The current project introduces novel storage methodologies as well as providing upgraded infrastructure and know-how for product development for both Estonian and Latvian companies, especially SMEs.

The project establish a strong cross-border network of Estonian and Latvian leading sectorial research centers (Pure (LV), Polli (EE)) and industrial partners (Silvanols (LV), Piladzi (LV) and Berry Farming (EE)) as well as public institutions/NGOs focusing on rural development from both countries. By involving additional actors beyond the project partnership, a strong postharvest value chain was created with strong linkages to industrial, academic and public sector partners.

We invite entrepreneurs who are interested in their business development opportunities through sectorial and intersectorial collaboration to this seminar in order to look over the impacts of Project “GoodFruit” on cross border cooperation .

During the seminar:

• Project partners will share their experience
• Introduce you with the project impact on Estonian and Latvian fruit and berry industries
• Discuss the future cooperation possibilities.
