On May 18 California hosted the virtual International Prune Association Congress. As part of the congress Luke moderated an orchard management panel. The panelists were Joe Turkovich (USA), Maud Delavaud (France), and Andres Olivos del Rio (Chile). The conversation sheds light on the struggles faced by prune production and orchard agriculture more broadly in three key global production areas. Many thanks to the panelists and to the California Prune Board for lettings us share this session as a podcast.
