Shaping Trust in Raisins - Building the Future of Safe and Traceable Raisins.

The panel session at the INC Conference will focus on food safety, traceability and residue management as key priorities across the global raisin value chain. The session is positioned as a collaborative, industry-wide discussion that acknowledges the different systems and regulatory environments in which producing countries operate.

The panel will emphasise that growing global demand for safe and traceable dried fruit places increasing responsibility on all stakeholders to build trust. South Africa will be presented as a structured, system-driven supplier, supported by coordinated industry efforts, organised grower networks and professional export systems. Production in naturally dry regions further contributes to consistent quality and compliance with international standards.
