According to FUS (Fruit-Union Suisse), the pome fruit season is shaping up to be satisfactory, with good harvests of around 114,500 tonnes of apples and 18,500 tonnes of pears.
Swiss pome fruit production has become even more sustainable thanks to the sector program developed in collaboration with Swisscofel and stakeholders and experts from the entire sector. The program includes 9 sustainability goals and provides a comprehensive catalog of measures that can be applied by farms depending on their individual situation.
The success of the program put in place was underlined by Simone de Montmollin, National Councillor: "It reflects the branch's great desire to take into account the increased demands of society, politics and consumers and to respond with applicable measures".
