‘Unlocking the Potential of Phytosanitary Irradiation’ at IMRP 2024

The PsIP is hosting ‘Unlocking the Potential of Phytosanitary Irradiation’ workshop, which will be held Sunday 3 November 2024, immediately prior to IMRP 2024.

Initially developed as the ‘From Theory to Practise – Addressing Challenges’ workshop attended by approved applicants, this event will now continue to be organised as an invite-only workshop. The objective of this event will be to identify the necessary steps to support phytosanitary irradiation and to agree actions that will promote industry growth.

The meeting will begin with an introduction and regional updates covering the Americas, EMEA, and Asia Pacific. Attendees will then be divided into six groups to debate key topics such as regulatory issues, growers, wholesale/retail, investment, and technology. Following these group discussions, each group will present their findings, which will lead into a Q&A session and further debate. The meeting will continue with a focus on the strategic actions that can be undertaken to support and promote industry growth. The workshop will conclude with a discussion on the future role of the PsIP.

Invitations will be sent directly to selected participants, who are encouraged to share their expertise and take advantage of this rare opportunity to engage with the global phytosanitary irradiation community.
