COMPO EXPERT will be present again at the International Congress of Red Fruits, which will be held in Huelva (Palacio de Congresos de Casa Colón) on June 20 and 21. Organized by the Association of Producers and Exporters of Strawberries of the province of Huelva, Freshuelva, this event reaches its fourth edition, having become the most important European level meeting of the berries sector.

In spite of what it may seem, not all crops or producers receive direct aid, before single payment aid, from the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) in Spain. In the payments of almost 4,940 million euros that will be paid this campaign in the autonomous communities as a whole, there will be leading sectors with a clear export vocation that will receive almost no direct subsidies from the Community Agrarian Policy. If we analyze them in order of economic importance, we have most of the vegetables and fruits, except for citrus fruits whose producers do charge but little in proportion to others, where no direct assistance from the CAP is perceived. The exception to citrus fruits are those surfaces of fruit and vegetables that come from the decoupling of old processing aids, nuts or beneficiaries who grew fruits and vegetables and other PAC crops.

After two years experimenting in real crops subjected to situations of environmental stress, such as drought, high temperatures or salinity, Tradecorp, a company specializing in nutrition and crop protection, offers Phylgreen, its biostimulant based on seaweed extracts, a highly effective solution in managing the negative effects of environmental factors on agricultural yields. Precisely, in the current context of climate change, environmental stress is emerging as one of the great challenges of today's agriculture. The results of the studies and tests carried out with this innovative product have been presented to the sector in two events held on January 24th and 25th in Seville and Valencia, respectively.
