2019 edition of FuturPera in Ferrara
The meeting point for Italy’s pear sector, FuturPera, will be held once again in Ferrara in the Emilia-Romagna region. Despite the economic crisis, the municipality of Ferrara has recognised the importance of the event by sponsoring it, in collaboration with private entities like Bper Banca, Generali Italia and VH Italia Assicurazioni. Stefano Calderoni, president of Futurpera, said, “This is a difficult year from an economic point of view and not only for the agricultural sector. The institutions that govern us or are involved in promoting business development are facing a resource crisis, because the transfer of money by from the state to local authorities has decreased over the years or has become more complex.” There is also a strong presence of foreign companies exhibiting their innovative proposals at the fair.
