In less than three months, 1000+ members of the global avocado community will descend upon Auckland, New Zealand, for the 10th World Avocado Congress, taking place from 2-5 April 2023.

Jen Scoular, CEO of New Zealand Avocado and President of the World Avocado Congress Committee says the number of attendees to date is incredible testament as to how highly regarded the congress is amongst the global avocado community.

“We can’t wait to welcome the brightest minds in avocados to our shores; international growers, researchers, marketers, retailers, tech innovators, investors and more. The congress is an incredible opportunity to showcase our avocados and raise visibility of New Zealand on the world produce stage, while also demonstrating our differentiated story to grow value and volume into developing markets,” says Ms Scoular.

HAB will be represented at the Congress to share input on the work of the Board, and to gain a wider audience to learn more about the tools we create for the industry in the U.S.

We highly recommend you take a look at the WAC information, schedules, and the speakers who will be participating in the Congress. You may come to the conclusion, that this is an event that you need to attend to assist in your big-picture thinking about the global industry we participate in.
