agri benchmark Horticulture Network Conference

In early September, the agri benchmark Horticulture Network will hold its first international partner conference in Spain.
This closed, partner-only event is dedicated to one central objective: assessing and strengthening the international competitiveness of horticultural production systems.

The conference provides a focused platform for network partners to work jointly on:

• International competitiveness
  Comparative economic analysis of horticultural systems based on the agri benchmark typical farm methodology, ensuring consistency, transparency, and analytical depth.
• Methodological alignment
  Discussion and refinement of assumptions, indicators, and modelling approaches across countries and crops.
• Strategic exchange within the network
  Structured dialogue among partners to interpret results, identify competitiveness drivers, and define priorities for future network work.
• Mediterranean field perspective
  Selected field trips in Spain will place the analytical results into a Mediterranean production context, linking farm-level economics with real-world production conditions.

This conference marks an important internal milestone for the agri benchmark Horticulture Network and lays the foundation for future joint analyses, publications, and coordinated outreach.

Date: Early September
Location: Spain
Participation: By invitation – agri benchmark Horticulture Network partners only
