The 4th China-ASEAN Horticultural Product Postharvest Conference

Kasetsart University, Thailand, initiated collaborative research on postharvest biology and fruit logistics with approval from China’s Ministry of Science and Technology. This was part of the "China-ASEAN Year of Innovation" in 2018. The first “China - ASEAN Horticultural Product Postharvest Conference” was held in Hangzhou, and the second and third conferences followed in 2023 and 2024. The most recent event was supported by Zhejiang University and the HUB of Talent in Postharvest Technology, Thailand.

This conference provides a platform for researchers from leading Thai universities—such as Kasetsart University, King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi, and Mae Fah Luang University—as well as countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative, to exchange knowledge and establish scientific collaborations. These interactions foster international friendship and cooperation.

As a leading international event, the conference brings together researchers, academicians, and industry experts in postharvest technology. It serves as a key platform for knowledge exchange and collaboration among participants from China, ASEAN countries, and beyond. The program will feature invited lectures, contributed oral presentations, and poster sessions, offering an opportunity to share the latest research and advancements in postharvest science. We look forward to welcoming you to this exciting event!
