The Prognosfruit Conference is Europe’s leading annual event for the apple and pear sector, gathering growers from across Europe and beyond. Prognosfruit 2025 will take place in Angers, France, from the 6th to the 8th of August 2025, the first edition in the country since Toulouse in 2012. Registration is now open, and stakeholders and journalists are welcome to register via the Prognosfruit website.


Prognosfruit, the leading annual event for the apple and pear sector, will take place in Angers, France, from the 6th to the 8th of August 2025. Prognosfruit 2025 is organised by WAPA in cooperation with ANPP (Association Nationale Pommes Poires). Registration is now open on the Prognosfruit website.

 

Since 1976, Prognosfruit has released the annual forecast of apple and pear production for the upcoming season, with a conference organised in a different country each year. In 2025, the three-day event during which the report will be released will see representatives of the sector gather to discuss the Northern Hemisphere situation as well as global perspectives for apples and pears. Following the Prognosfruit Conference on August 7, the delegates will have the opportunity to participate in technical orchard and packhouse visits.

 

Given its commitment to the environment, particularly through the Eco-Responsible Orchards label, the ANPP has announced that this event will be carbon neutral, with the offsetting to be achieved through orchard plantings.

 

The programme of Prognosfruit 2025, the online registration form to attend the conference, and a platform to book your accommodation in Angers are all available on the Prognosfruit website. Register by 8 June 2025 to take advantage of the Early Bird Fee!
