Fruit Attraction 2021 - much more than an on-site industry reunion

27 March 2021
The application period is open for participation in Fruit Attraction 2021, which will be held in person from 5 to 7 October in Madrid. The three-day industry reunion will once again make the fair the world epicentre of fresh product marketing, where innovation, quality and diversity are the core mantras of operators and retailers from all over the world when planning their campaigns at a key time like early October. Starting in April an entire investment and action plan is put in motion to guarantee the presence of the major demand groups from all over Europe and third countries, including the biggest International Guest Programme in the history of Fruit Attraction.

Alongside the physical gathering, the fair will bring the entire fruit and vegetable community together year-round with Fruit Attraction LIVEConnect platform, a digital tool that enhances and complements the on-site event with new features to enhance both initiatives. This ensure that Fruit Attraction, organised by IFEMA and FEPEX, will be much more than just the face-to-face industry reunion. The fair is presenting a new hybrid value proposal that enhances on-site efficiency through technology:
