and new cultivars can now be targeted at specific sectors of the market. The de-
velopment and adoption of new technologies, both in agronomic systems and also
in new breeding strategies, can assist the industries based on the various crops to
meet the serious challenges presented by factors such as climate change and loss
of crop protection chemicals. Together with the opportunities for increasing berry
consumption based on their nutritional benefits, this should ensure a healthy future
outlook for these crops.
