About

Tropical horticultural products embody an extraordinary level of biodiversity. While some are widely available, others—though rare—boast unique properties and high functional value. However, the supply and management of these products face persistent challenges due to the remote and scattered nature of wild sources, compounded by intricate logistical and distribution networks.

This conference seeks to address these challenges by fostering dialogue and collaboration among researchers, producers, businesses, and local communities engaged in tropical horticulture. It offers a dynamic platform to explore innovative solutions, exchange experiences, and discuss strategies for strengthening tropical horticultural supply chains, optimizing product quality management, and leveraging biodiversity to drive sustainable development.

The event seeks to promote knowledge exchange and interdisciplinary collaboration, connecting scientific advancements with practical applications to strengthen tropical horticultural systems

By addressing key challenges and opportunities, this conference contributes to building sustainable solutions that balance conservation, economic growth, and societal benefits in tropical regions

The Faculty of Agricultural Sciences at the National University of Colombia – Bogotá Campus

The Faculty of Agricultural Sciences at the National University of Colombia – Bogotá Campus, founded in 1963, is dedicated to preserving, assimilating, developing, and disseminating universal agronomic knowledge through the study and enhancement of the country’s scientific, technological, technical, cultural, and environmental resources. Its mission is to educate autonomous, free, creative, committed, respectful, and responsible citizens who uphold democratic values and national interests, through the practices of teaching, research, and outreach. In doing so, the Faculty contributes to the transformation of the educational and agricultural sectors, rural society, the State, and the University itself.

Tropical regions are rich in functional products, from food to nutraceuticals and phytotherapeutics. However, bridging the gap between these products and global consumers remains a challenge. The VI International Conference on Postharvest and Quality Management of Horticultural Products of Interest for Tropical Regions will explore solutions, with a strong emphasis on distribution logistics—a key obstacle in the value chain. The SINCHI Institute, a leading force in the development of Amazonian tropical products, invites all stakeholders to join the conversation and share their expertise.
