The Prognosfruit Conference is Europe’s leading annual event for the apple and pear sector, gathering growers from across Europe and beyond. Prognosfruit 2026 will take place in Constance, Germany, from the 5th to the 7th of August 2026, with a milestone for the event, celebrating 50 years of uninterrupted editions of Prognosfruit.

Prognosfruit, the leading annual event for the apple and pear sector, will take place in Constance, Germany, from the 5th to the 7th of August 2026. Prognosfruit 2026 is organised by WAPA in cooperation with BVEO (Bundesvereinigung der Erzeugerorganisationen Obst und Gemüse e.V.). Registration is now open on the Prognosfruit website.
Since 1976, Prognosfruit has released the annual forecast of apple and pear production for the upcoming season, with a conference organised in a different country each year. In 2026, the three-day event during which the report will be released will see representatives of the sector gather to discuss the Northern Hemisphere situation as well as global perspectives for apples and pears. Following the Prognosfruit Conference on August 6, the delegates will have the opportunity to participate in juice production and fruit research visits.
“We are proud to host Prognosfruit in one of Europe’s important fruit-growing regions. Lake Constance offers the perfect surroundings to discuss the future of the apple and pear sector.” BVEO Managing Director Dr. Christian Weseloh stated.
