The new early‑season strawberry variety PSG061, presented by El Pinar at the Huelva Berry Congress, stands out for its open plant architecture, ease of management, and uniform, glossy fruit with an extended shelf life.
What twelve international studies reveal — and how to turn that knowledge into an effective installation
We speak with Custodio López Cruz, agrotech consultant and regional manager at Hispatec, about how digitalisation and data analysis are transforming production and management in the berry sector.
Spanish berry exports reached a total of 426,527 tonnes and €2.114 billion in 2025, consolidating their importance within the country’s fruit and vegetable foreign trade. Strawberries remain the main exported product, while blueberries and raspberries stand out for their significant contribution to total export value.
The 2026 edition of the International Berry Congress, organized by Freshuelva and scheduled for June 17–18 at the Casa Colón, will focus its program on the strategic challenges that will shape the sector’s competitiveness: sustainability, water management, commercial diversification and boosting consumption.
