Over the years since cherry production commenced Australian growers have been inventive and innovative. At times they have been quick to take up new ideas, research and varieties and at other times they have been world leaders in their ‘craft’. The Australian Cherry industry has a mix of older established businesses and some new and at times inexperienced operators. No matter when growers entered the business of growing, harvesting and marketing cherries the one constant has been the desire to learn more about their ‘craft’. The new edition of the Australian Cherry Production Guide is now the most up to date and practical guide for past, current and future cherry growers to assist them in understanding and improving their ‘craft’. The Australian Cherry Production Guide has been developed over many years starting with some work undertaken by Wayne Boucher from Tasmania. This information was then used as the basis of the Cherry Manual produced by the Cherry Growers of South Australia. Through some funding from the Australian Government, Cherry Growers of Australia Inc has been able to build on the sound base of this past work, expand the contribution of information from specific researchers and mould the information into a truly national manual. The work undertaken by Paul James, Senior Horticultural Consultant from Rural Solutions SA should not be under-estimated. The time and effort to write and re-write sections, add new information and format this into a most useable ‘tool’ has been immense. All endeavors have been made to make this manual as inclusive of relevant and accurate information that could be found within Australia and across the world. The team of experts that have collaborated on this manual are most impressive. Support from growers from within South Australia and across Australia has also been most valuable. The Australian Cherry Industry is indebted to all who have contributed their time, skills and knowledge to the tasks allotted within the production of the Australian Cherry Production Guide. The Manual is a ‘tool’ to be used by all Australian Cherry growers in the production of high quality cherries sought by consumers with Australia and all points of the globe. Most importantly this is not a static document because as of today some of this information has been superseded by new and more relevant information. The challenge for Cherry Growers of Australia Inc is to maintain this document as a ‘fluid’ document ensuring that it is regularly up- dated and kept current. The Australian Cherry Production Guide is one of the last components of the Australian Cherry Industry ‘toolkit’. All involved should be proud of the work undertaken to achieve such a comprehensive and useable document. I commend the 2010 Australian Cherry Production Guide to ALL Australian Cherry Growers. Use it to become the best cherry growers in the International markets. Tim Reid - Cherry Growers Australia Inc. April 2010 Trevor M Ranford – CEO, Cherry Growers Australia until December 2010.

This year we were proud to convene members of the industry from 161 countries, regions and territories to experience the future through technology. Featuring impressive debuts in 5G, artificial intelligence, transportation and more, CES 2019 showcased how technology enables every business to succeed. This year, we added an area on resilience to showcase technologies that can help society stay connected and safe. A new health care track also provided medical professionals with CME credits. We are pleased that the audit concluded that CES 2019 attracted 175,212 in total attendance. This number compares to 182,198 in CES 2018 and the high of 184,279 at CES 2017. This result is in line with our strategy of managing attendee numbers and attracting the most highly qualified attendees. This strategy is aimed at helping limit hotel price increases and the pressure on travel to and around Las Vegas during CES. While CES attracted government leaders from around the world, many members of the U.S. government were not able to attend due to the government shutdown. Thanks to the support of our exhibitors, CES continues to grow exhibit space, expanding to an incredible 2.9 million net square feet in 2019. As more businesses embrace technology, we are excited to welcome the next generation of diverse and visionary innovators.

External Editor: Marc A. Rosen Received: 27 August 2014; in revised form: 2 November 2014 / Accepted: 5 November 2014 / Published: 12 November 2014 Abstract: Greenhouse tomato cultivation plays an important role in Sicily, being the primary production area in Italy, due to its favorable pedo-climatic conditions that permit extra-seasonal productions. In Sicily, more than half of greenhouse tomato production is derived from the Province of Ragusa on the southeastern coast, where especially cherry tomato typologies are cultivated. Over the last decade, the Ragusa Province has registered a decrease both in terms of greenhouse tomato area and harvested production due to several structural problems that would require restructuring of the tomato supply chain. Thus, since recognition of real costs and profitability of tomato growing is a vital issue, both from the perspective of the farm, as well as from that of the entrepreneur, the aim of this paper was to analyze the economic sustainability of Sicilian greenhouse cherry tomato cultivated in the Ragusa Province.
