New challenges, a new ambition!

Identifying the requirements in each segment and taking on board consumer expectations and environmental factors are the structural foundations of this new edition.

medFEL, federating the French regions
What’s the purpose of medFEL 2020?
Gather together all the regions in France and offer market players an opportunity to get up-to-date and contribute their own experience of the initiatives they have conducted. These are points that will make a difference among French and international buyers.

medFEL, the only genuine sourcing tool in France for French and international buyers in the fruit and vegetable category
Mass retail chains, import/export firms, group purchasing organisations, wholesalers, organic retailers, catering firms, processing manufacturers.. in fact, all the professionals in search of fruit and vegetables will be in attendance at the only French event entirely dedicated to this sector and where market operators, processing, packaging, transport and logistics suppliers, service companies and start-ups will all be exhibiting.
International business, a development vector for all exhibitors, will naturally lie at the heart of the visitor campaign. Pre-arranged business meetings will be organised with VIP buyers from countries considered by participants as essential.
