During their visit they were able to see the new blueberry varieties that are going to be launched in October 2019, as well as the raspberry and strawberry programmes. IPL’s Technical Team Leader in Spain & Portugal, Carolina Carral highlighted “Planasa’s focus on earliness and flavour in the development of new berry varieties”.
