ABCSEM will hold a free online event on the production of vegetable seedlings

On the 10th, 11th and 12th of November, the 17th Nurserymen's Meeting of the Brazilian Seed and Seedling Trade Association (ABCSEM) will take place, a very traditional event, held annually by the entity, and which has already visited several cities in Brazil. However, considering the context of the new coronavirus pandemic and its logistical implications, this edition of the event will be fully online and also free.

According to the Executive Director of ABCSEM, Marcelo Pacotte, “the objective of holding this event virtually and at no cost to producers and nurseries, in a year of pandemic, is precisely to contribute to facilitating access to technical and of quality on seedling production, given the great economic difficulties faced in the country. We want to contribute significantly to the improvement of this very important market segment within the vegetable production chain in the country. And this is our help for the sector, in this time of transition, full of challenges”, he says.

Programming and access

The Viveiristas Meeting program will feature three lectures, which will be broadcast on the 10th, 11th and 12th of November, always at 19pm, on the entity's official channels on Facebook and YouTube.
