Grape Nut and Tree Fruit Expo Heads to Fresno, Aims Local Support

Malcolm Media is bringing the Grape, Nut and Tree Fruit Expo to the BIG Fresno Fairgrounds on Friday November 14 2025 as part of its 2025 AgExpo series, a one day trade show and seminar program aimed at grape tree fruit and nut producers and the wider agricultural supply chain. The program combines technical sessions continuing education credits and a vendor exhibit floor alongside networking time and on site meals that organizers expect will draw regional growers and agribusinesses.

Program listings from the expo include seminars on pest management integrated pest management known as IPM AI in vineyard management and an overview of new pesticide regulations. The event offers continuing education credits for PCA CCA and INMP professionals and lists a free breakfast followed by a tri tip barbecue for attendees. An industry trade show floor will give vendors and service providers an opportunity to display equipment technologies and crop inputs. Event listings and schedule details are available from AgExpo and Malcolm Media event pages.

For Fresno County growers the expo is both a practical resource and a market signal. Pest management and regulatory sessions speak directly to compliance costs and operational choices this season and into the next. Continuing education credits are a routine requirement for many advisors and applicators, and access to updated regulatory guidance at a local event can reduce the time and expense required to meet new rules. Sessions on AI in vineyard management reflect an industry trend toward precision agriculture that can raise productivity but also requires capital investment and training.

The vendor floor and networking components matter for local economic activity. Exhibitors bring inputs machinery and technology sales prospects to Fresno County where grapes tree fruits and nuts represent a large share of regional agricultural output. Local service businesses equipment dealers and consulting firms can gain contracts or leads at the event and seasonal hiring and contracting decisions may be influenced by contacts made there.

Longer term the expo highlights two persistent trends affecting Fresno County agriculture. First technology adoption from remote sensing to AI driven decision tools is accelerating the pressure on producers to modernize operations to remain cost competitive. Second regulatory change around pesticides and integrated pest approaches continues to shape input costs labor needs and management practices. Events that bundle technical training regulatory updates and vendor exposure reduce information frictions and can speed adoption, but also create short term adjustments in capital budgets and labor training schedules.

Organizers position the event as a practical one stop for growers to pick up credits learn about new tools and meet suppliers. For details on the schedule and registration interested residents and businesses should consult the AgExpo and Malcolm Media event pages.
