Last days to register for National industry gathering – don’t miss out!

It only happens once a year, so if you miss out on this year’s AOA National Olive Industry Conference & Exhibition, you’ve got a long wait ahead. And there’ll be a lot to catch up on, with a jam-packed program based around the theme of Productivity and profitability.

And who doesn’t want to achieve that!

The annual ‘information-fest’ covers practical topics relevant to all olive businesses, from grove management practices to marketing and pretty much everything in between. Presented by experts in their fields, and with plenty of opportunity for questions and clarifications, it’s an unmissable opportunity for learning, with a good dose of inspiration thrown in.

For those who haven’t booked yet, here’s a reminder of the scope and range of topics on this year’s program:

Water – forecasting drought; equipment and irrigation systems; calculating water requirements and timing; grove case study; irrigating olives with reclaimed wastewater; Market insights – global and local; Olive agrichemicals; Fertilising – optimising macro-elements; Varietal suitability; Table olives – new sustainable production method; tasting workshop; Benchmarking; Harvest timing; Packaging; Machinery – panel session, need vs want/owning vs contracting; Soil health; Regenerative pruning; Insectaries; Processing; Marketing – promotional food events.

The industry Trade Exhibition will also run throughout the two plenary days, providing an opportunity to discover new ways to improve and enhance your grove and business practices. The specialist service providers participating this year cover a wide range of industry needs, from pruning and processing equipment, to enzymes, pumps and water solutions, offering the chance to discuss your individual business needs face-to-face with experts in their respective fields, all in the one place.
