MariboHilleshög på Borgeby Fältdagar i Sverige
Den 26. og 27. juni deltog MariboHilleshög med egen stand på Borgeby Fältdager nord for Malmö. Borgeby Fältdager er Nordeuropas største landbrugsmesse med over 400 udstillere og godt 20.000 besøgende
Det var to meget succesfulde - og varme dage - med besøg af rigtig mange svenske og danske roedyrkere, der kom forbi MariboHilleshög for at høre nyt om de svenske og danske sukkerroesorter. Det gav også mulighed for at drøfte den nylig indgået branche-aftale, mellem sukkerroedyrkerne og Nordic Sugar, som giver anledning til optimisme for den fremtidige roedyrkning i Skandinavien.
I den ene side af teltet blev de danske Maribo-sorter præsenteret og i den anden side de svenske Hilleshög-sorter. Roedyrkerne havde både mulighed for at se sorterne i plantekasser og få information om sorterne af det dansk/svenske MariboHilleshög team.
De besøgende havde også mulighed for at få viden om forskellige plantesygdomme, se forskellen på sunde og inficerede planter – samt få kendskab til i hvilken retning forædlingen arbejder med at indbygge forskellige tolerancer i de kommende sorter.
MariboHilleshög havde endvidere besøg af kunder, der var kommet den lange vej fra Kasakhstan og Kina, for at besøge MariboHilleshög og lære om roedyrkning i Skandinavien.
