Elsoms supports industry collaboration at the Pea and Bean Conference

UK Pea and Bean Conference – Supporting the Industry

Elsoms is delighted to be supporting this year's UK Pea and Bean Conference, bringing together growers, processors, researchers and industry representatives to share knowledge, discuss the latest developments and explore the future of the UK pea and bean sector.

Bringing the UK pea growers and industry experts together

As part of our commitment to supporting the industry, Elsoms is proud to be sponsoring the drinks at the pre-conference dinner, as well as the lunch on the main conference day. These opportunities to connect and network are an important part of bringing the industry together, encouraging collaboration and strengthening the partnerships that underpin a successful and sustainable sector.

Commenting on the importance of the event, Ed Cooper, Crop Manager at Elsoms, said:

"At Elsoms, we are delighted to support the Pea and Bean Conference and the vital role it plays in bringing the industry together. The success of the UK vining pea sector relies on strong partnerships, shared knowledge and continued investment, and we are pleased to play our part in supporting growers through plant breeding innovation and seed technology development.

Events such as this provide an invaluable opportunity to share knowledge, discuss emerging opportunities and challenges, and strengthen the collaboration that underpins a successful pea industry. They also help support the work of industry associations, ensuring they have the resources and collective voice needed to respond effectively to issues that impact growers and crop production.

By working closely with growers, processors and research partners, Elsoms and our breeding partner, Crites, remain committed to developing and delivering improved vining pea varieties that offer strong agronomic performance, crop resilience and reliable returns. Together, we can help ensure a sustainable, productive and profitable future for UK pea production."

Working together for a sustainable and profitable pea industry

At Elsoms, we believe that progress comes through collaboration. By working alongside growers, processors, research partners and industry organisations, we remain committed to investing in the future of UK vining pea production and delivering innovative varieties that meet the evolving needs of the industry.
