FRC Randwijk, Lingewal 1b Randwijk
A practical day for anyone who wants to see fruit cultivation in context
Fruit cultivation is changing through developments in labour, data, robotics, sustainability and precision technology. At the same time, as a grower, tech company, researcher, advisor or policymaker, you want to see what is becoming applicable in practice. At Open Day FRC Randwijk, you can see fruit cultivation, research and technology come together in a practical setting. The day gives you room to look around, ask questions, meet people from the sector and gain a clearer view of which developments are relevant to your work..
Programme Open Day FRC Randwijk
The programme is set up as an open and practice-oriented afternoon and evening, with the company market as the central starting point.
Visitors can freely explore the company market and decide for themselves where they want to spend more time. In addition, there are thematic tours of around 60 minutes, starting every 15 minutes from the company market. Each tour focuses on a specific theme, with experts from the field explaining several topics.
The full overview of themes and contributions will be shared via the FRC Randwijk website.
The content connects with current developments in fruit cultivation practice. Think of precision fruit cultivation, digital support for orchards, digital overviews for cultivation decisions and practice-oriented research. As preparations are still ongoing, specific demonstrations and speakers will only be mentioned once they have been definitively confirmed.
Why Open Day FRC Randwijk is relevant to your work
The value of this day lies in its practical context. You do not see developments in isolation from the sector, but in a place where questions from fruit cultivation, technology and research come together. This makes it easier to assess which innovations may be relevant to your work, which conditions are needed and where collaboration can make a difference. It gives you a more concrete view of the step from idea to application, without needing to know in advance which solution is most relevant to you.

Looking more broadly at innovation in fruit cultivation
NXTGEN Hightech Agrifood is highlighting Open Day FRC Randwijk because of its strong connection with Handsfree Agrifood and the role of FRC Randwijk as a practice-oriented test location. FRC Randwijk and the sector content are central to this. By bringing together perspectives from fruit cultivation, technology, research and policy in one location, a broader picture emerges of what works, what still needs attention and which choices can help the sector move forward.
