Celebrating its 15th anniversary, the fair, organised by IFEMA MADRID and FEPEX and with Andalusia as the Guest Region, has recorded the highest participation in its history with 2,000 exhibiting companies from 56 countries, more than 64,000 square metres of surface area, and an expected attendance of 90,000 professionals from 135 countries.
For the first time, 9 pavilions – 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 – of the Madrid Fairgrounds are hosting the great fruit and vegetable offer that this edition brings together, which represents an increase in both occupancy and participation of more than 10% compared to the last edition. In this way, Fruit Attraction 2023 will turn Madrid into the world epicentre for the marketing of fresh products.
