By Will Cavan, Publisher, DMI MEDIA/ AGRIMUNDO.tv



The upcoming Mexico Table Grapes Spring Summit 2026, scheduled for April 10 at the Hotel Pendry in San Diego, California, is set to gather industry leaders to address the evolving landscape of tropical and subtropical viticulture. 



The event features a robust technical program, beginning with a deep dive into horticultural market trends led by David Magaña of Rabobank, followed by a critical exploration of vineyard robotics. 



As the industry faces shifting labor dynamics and climate challenges, the integration of artificial intelligence and innovation—presented by expert Sharon Gai—highlights a strategic pivot toward Pillar II priorities of transportation and logistics efficiency. 



The afternoon sessions will focus on geopolitical and marketing strategies, featuring insights from Lila Abed of the Inter-American Dialogue and marketing expert Rodrigo Vallejo, providing a comprehensive outlook on the North American trade corridor.



A primary highlight of the summit will be the official 2026 Crop Forecast. 


Early indicators suggest a steady growth trajectory for the Mexican table grape market, with production anticipated to reach approximately 382,000 metric tons as the industry moves toward a target of 80% proprietary new varieties by late 2026.



 These new cultivars, including popular green seedless and high-flavor "candy" varieties, are essential for meeting the increasing demand on the "Demand Side" (Pillar III) of the global market. 



The summit will conclude with a keynote by Ramon Alberto Garza and a formal dinner at Fogo de Chão, offering a vital networking platform for stakeholders committed to the sustainable expansion of the Mexican produce sector across the Americas.

THE HISTORY OF THE WORD PALTA AS IN AVOCADO 🥑

Image
  The history of the Palta people of Ecuador is unfortunately fragmentary, as much of their culture and history was lost following the Spanish conquest in the 16th century.  However, based on archaeological evidence, early Spanish accounts, and linguistic remnants, we can piece together some information: Origins and Migration:  * The Palta people appear to have migrated to the Andean highlands from the tropical forests to the east relatively shortly before the arrival of the Spanish. This suggests they were a more recent arrival in the highland region compared to other established indigenous groups. Way of Life:  * They were primarily farmers. Their agricultural practices focused on cultivating crops suited to the Andean environment, including:    * Corn (maize)    * Potatoes    * Beans    * Squash    * Avocados (which are called "palta" in the local Spanish)    * Tropical fruits, indicating their likely ori...
