6 March 2017
This year, the ninth edition of FRUIT ATTRACTION will take place from 18 to 20 October 2017 in Halls 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. Among other new features, there will be a new exhibition area this year called THE NUTS HUB. This part of the trade fair will focus entirely on nuts, adding to shine the spotlight on specific sectors.
The all-new ´THE NUTS HUB´ at Fruit Attraction 2017 will be a place for the nut trade to present its products. It will also be a networking opportunity for the entire industry and distribution channel. This year’s FRUIT ATTRACTION is set to be better than ever. It is the most comprehensive promotional platform for the sectors, and is scheduled at the optimal moment of the year for these industries.

When it comes to foreign trade, in 2016, Spain imported 200,312 tons of nuts worth €1,011 million, according to information released by the Customs authorities, most of which were shelled almonds. Last year, the country exported 109,603 tons of nuts worth €684.2 million.
