1st International Asparagus Days

Even if asparagus fields in the world represent more than 210 000 ha, planted on the five continents, the market and consumer demand remains very strong. Today experts estimate that 70 000 ha can still be brought under cultivation. Besides the quantity need, a new demand appears concerning the gustative as well as the environmental aspects with organic asparagus. International Asparagus Days will offer producers concrete solutions for this type of production. In Europe, recent growth of German asparagus fields, revival of the production in France and the shift towards green asparagus farming in Spain are proofs of these evolutions. In South America, the increase of asparagus prices for the industry stimulates this cultivation.
