Packhouse Innovation & Export Summit 2025

From Packhouse to Export: Innovate, Optimise, and Compete Globally

The Packhouse Innovation & Export Summit 2025 is the ultimate platform for driving transformation across South Africa’s fresh produce value chain. As packhouses evolve to meet growing global demand, compliance pressures, and sustainability goals, this event explores what’s next in post-harvest technology, fruit export readiness, and agriculture 4.0. Over two powerful days in Stellenbosch, you’ll connect with industry leaders, supply chain experts, tech providers, and exporters to explore real-world solutions for optimising your packhouse operations.

API 653 WORKSHOP: Storage Tank Assets

Empire Training’s course on API 653 provides an in-depth understanding of storage tanks, including their design, application, operation, maintenance, and repair. It covers essential topics like the API 650 design standard, ASME Section IX & V, API 575, damage mechanisms affecting storage tanks, and modern construction strategies for asset integrity management. The course also delves into modern trends in repairs according to API 653, as well as advanced tank protection systems, including release prevention barriers, cathodic protection, internal liners, foam dams, and floating roof safety systems.

Post-Harvest, Technology and Agro-Processing of Horticultural Crops Summit

Food loss and waste occur at every stage of the supply chain, from production to consumption, with each participant contributing to some degree of loss. In South Africa, significant food losses occur during the production and immediate post-harvest phases, accounting for 25.2% of total losses. These issues stem from inadequate technology, poor post-harvest handling practices, and inefficiencies in food supply chains. Conversely, in developed countries, advancements in mechanisation and post-harvest technologies, such as cold storage, have minimised post-harvest losses to less than 10%. However, they face higher losses during the retail and consumption stages.

Mitigating Pesticide Residue For Food Safety

As the global demand for safe, high-quality food continues to rise and environmental pressures intensify, the agricultural sector faces urgent challenges. This summit on Mitigating Pesticide Residue for Food Safety, brings together cross-disciplinary expertise to explore cutting-edge scientific developments, regulatory frameworks, and practical innovations that support the monitoring and reduction of pesticide residues across plant and soil systems.
From advancements in biological pest control to the latest testing technologies and policy-driven approaches, the summit will dive deep into actionable solutions that safeguard human health, soil biodiversity, and agricultural sustainability. It will also provide critical insights into how integrated pest management (IPM), biostimulants, and farmer training can be effectively used to reduce chemical dependency and promote long-term plant and soil vitality.
