WHERE IT ALL STARTED

See the beginnings of the INC Congress

The global expansion of the nut industry began in 1980 with the First World Tree Nut Congress in Reus, Spain. This marked the first large international gathering of business people in the sector with the objective of standardizing criteria and uniting efforts in the task of promoting and improving their professional work. It was in this moment that the INC Congress was born, although the INC would not be officially founded until 1983 with the signing of the Charter in Paris.

The second Congress was held in 1982 in Sorrento, Italy, and the third took place in 1983 in Sacramento, USA. As the years continued to pass, the Congress remained a consistent event. Nearly 40 World Nut and Dried Fruit Congress have now taken place and they continue to be the most highly anticipated event for the sector. Throughout the years the Congress has been hosted by more than 20 countries in the Americas, Europe, Africa, Middle East, Asia, and Oceania and continues to grow, now regularly reaching over 1,000 participants.
