The global trend towards machine harvested blueberries has brought challenges. Machine harvesters are faster and less costly than manual picking, but they also harvest unwanted green and red berries, debris and fruit clusters which cause disruption on production lines and slow down the pack-out.

The annual meeting of the Portuguese Association of Blueberry Producers (ANPM) concluded with a technical day at Nberry in Sátão, which hosted a meeting where the event's technical sponsors were able to show their solutions live to producers.
