The history of growing fruit
July 15, 2021 | by Chris Owens
The fruit industry has dramatically changed over the last 20 years.
IFG (International Fruit Genetics) showed that a table grape could be so much more, providing a new and interesting consumer experience with the Cotton Candy grape. During the past 20 years, there has been a steady increase in the growth of proprietary fruit breeding programs and we have been very successful by placing a greater emphasis on consumer acceptance of our new varieties.
How has fruit breeding changed?
Taking the table grape and making it not just an option at the store, but something that consumers seek out is a huge change in the industry.
