Welcome

Australia is proud to announce the VII World Avocado Congress, to be held in Cairns, Queensland from the 4 - 9 September 2011.

Held only every four years, the World Avocado Congress presents a rare opportunity for those in the avocado industry to come together to share and learn everything there is to know about our industry. Congress delegates will have the opportunity to listen to information, and hear about expert insights on the latest techniques for growing, learn about the newest trends in avocado marketing; and how such things as the economy and climate change will impact the industry’s future.

The Congress attracts over 1000 growers, wholesalers, food service suppliers, market traders, retail and government representatives. Delegates will have the chance to take advantage of the many networking opportunities available in the Congress program, to both strengthen and establish new relationships within the industry.

Located in Australia’s tropical north, Cairns is one of the world’s most stunning locations. Known for its unique environmental treasures, Cairns is home to the World Heritage listed Great Barrier Reef and the Wet Tropics. Delegates can experience and explore a range of activities; from adventure tours, to alfresco dining and exciting shopping. With an international airport only minutes from the city centre, Cairns is easily accessible from all major Australian cities, the Asia-Pacific region and the rest of the world.

We sincerely hope you will enjoy the VII World Avocado Congress in 2011 in Cairns, Queensland, Australia!
