10. International Symposium on Kiwifruit-KIWI 2021

Dear Kiwifruit Family,

Welcome to the Tenth International Symposium on Kiwifruit (Kiwifruit-2021) which will be held from 27 to 30 September 2021, under the aegis of the International Society for Horticultural Science (ISHS). This symposium is organized by Atatürk Horticultural Central Research Institute, part of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, Turkey.

We were planning to organize the "Tenth International Symposium on Kiwifruit (Kiwifruit-2021)” in 2020, but the outbreak of Covid-19 we had to postpone to 27-30 September 2021. Unfortunately, in these first months of 2021, restrictions still continue all over the world due to Covid-19. Therefore, with the recommendation of the Scientific Committee, we decided to organize the X.th International Symposium on Kiwifruit as Virtual (Online). We hope that we will have the chance to reach a much higher number of participants in this way.

Kiwifruit is grown in more than 30 countries, with production increasing every year. Kiwifruit was introduced to Turkey in the late 1980s. Production in Turkey has increased in the last twenty years and is now close to 65,000 tonnes, with the potential for further growth. Half of the production in Turkey is from Yalova and Bursa Provinces and the other half from the northern part of the country, especially the Middle and Eastern Black Sea regions. The city of Yalova is at the heart of kiwifruit production in Turkey.

A range of studies on Actinidia species will be presented during the symposium. Major topics for presentations will include breeding, cultivation techniques, diseases/pests, and post-harvest, although papers about other fields will also be accepted. It is also proposed that the symposium will bring together people from the global kiwifruit world of science and commerce, including researchers, producers, and marketers from different countries.

We are sure that the Tenth International Symposium on Kiwifruit (Kiwifruit-2021) will be a great scientific and social experience for everyone. We are waiting for you to join Kiwifruit Symposium and share your studies with Kiwifruit Family.

Looking forward to seeing you at the largest international kiwifruit organization.

Join us!
