VI International Conference on Postharvest and Quality Management of Horticultural Products of Interest for Tropical Regions

Tropical horticultural products embody an extraordinary level of biodiversity. While some are widely available, others—though rare—boast unique properties and high functional value. However, the supply and management of these products face persistent challenges due to the remote and scattered nature of wild sources, compounded by intricate logistical and distribution networks.

This conference seeks to address these challenges by fostering dialogue and collaboration among researchers, producers, businesses, and local communities engaged in tropical horticulture. It offers a dynamic platform to explore innovative solutions, exchange experiences, and discuss strategies for strengthening tropical horticultural supply chains, optimizing product quality management, and leveraging biodiversity to drive sustainable development.

The event seeks to promote knowledge exchange and interdisciplinary collaboration, connecting scientific advancements with practical applications to strengthen tropical horticultural systems. By addressing key challenges and opportunities, this conference contributes to building sustainable solutions that balance conservation, economic growth, and societal benefits in tropical regions
