Thanks to all delegates/participants, we succeeded in bringing excellent Black Currant people in, not only from Europe, but also from New Zealand and Tasmania.

During the 3 days, we were all among the most respected specialists involved in Black Currants, whether the subject was on growing, advising, breeding, processing, research/science, organisation, marketing and promotion or sub possibilities and development of new markets and new products.

The chain from growing to market became visible.
And the spirit of a common, continuing development of the Blackcurrant Industry was very present.

We, in Denmark, enjoyed providing the facilities for bringing you all together.

The conference was not meant as entertainment. For us it was an inspiration to act.

Grow the market, make new products and seeing the opportunities are now key-words to a better common future for the Black Currants.

Presentations as well as details of expected crop 2009 is available at this site: "Presentations"
