A NEW ERA OF BRITISH FRUIT GROWING BEGINS WITH THE RETURN OF THE NATIONAL FRUIT SHOW, BRINGING GROWERS, SUPPLIERS & BUYERS BACK TOGETHER.

Ever evolving, the show has a number of new features this year as MFSS Executive Chair Sarah Calcutt oversees a series of exciting changes to the structure, governance and content of the annual industry get together.
The 2021 show was opened by the Minister for Farming, Fisheries and Food, Victoria Prentis MP (Cons, Banbury & North Oxfordshire), with NFU Vice President Tom Bradshaw also in attendance. The Minister also meet growers throughout the morning.
The MFSS committee take their sustainability obligations seriously, and in a move to boost its environmental footprint the event moved away from plastic packaging and instead used recycled and recyclable paper pulp punnets and tray liners.
The show’s return is being enthusiastically welcomed by the industry as a marker of ‘business as usual’ coming back. Calcutt said: “The National Fruit Show is a much-loved industry event that delivers a useful and important forum for growers. We are determined that its new features – including the conference forum, new speakers and industry-led advice and support – really answer growers’ urgent questions. These are unprecedented times and we are doing everything within our power to ensure that the voice, and needs, of growers are heard by those with decision-making responsibilities.”
