The page www.fruitattraction.com offers all the information pertinent to participating as an exhibitor and taking advantage of all the benefits that this great omnichannel platform makes available to professionals. 27 March is the First priority deadline  for submitting the online Participation Application form.
Organised by IFEMA and FEPEX halls 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 of Feria de Madrid will host this event with the slogan  Where Fresh Produce & Innovation meet. Once again they will offer international markets the most comprehensive and effective marketing tool out there for the fruit and vegetable sector. Southern Europe is establishing itself as the new and expanding fruit and vegetable hub with increasing global importance, and it is the gateway to Europe for Latin America, which strategically positions Fruit Attraction as the major international platform and hub for fresh produce operators.

Marketing, innovation, diversity and knowledge will be this edition’s central themes. The event has become established as a fundamental internationalisation tool for the industry, a meeting place for all the professionals making up the entire supply chain, and a framework for innovation in the fruit and vegetable market.
Once again, the Fresh Produce segment will have the lion’s share of the representation, with 70% of the offering at Fruit Attraction, while the Ancillary Industry also boasts a considerable footprint, with 30%. Hall 6 will also be welcoming companies from the flower and plant sector with  Flower&Garden Attraction .

As part of its plan to  bolster the fruit and vegetable trade between European Union countries and non-EU markets, Fruit Attraction 2019 will feature India and Singapore as Guest Importing Countries. In addition to handling the invitation of both countries’ authorities to the event, a significant part of the budget will be allocated to attract  these markets’ main players to Madrid,  with more than 100 commercial operators , procurement managers, operators, importers and retailers from India and Singapore . These countries will also be the protagonists of the World Fresh Forum , the business networking space co-organised with ICEX that will explore the commercial relations between these countries and enable the presentation of business opportunities. Alongside this initiative, Fruit Attraction will once again make a significant investment in the International Guest Programme , which will attract 1,000 retail procurement heads, importers and wholesalers from around the world to Madrid .
This edition will once again feature a full programme of technical conferences and activities , making the Fair the centre of knowledge for the industry, with sessions characterised by a wide variety of content and the relevance and expertise of participants and speakers.

Fruit Attraction will also promote areas such as Organic Hub, dedicated to companies selling organic fruit and vegetable products, the Smart Agro space , focused on the application of new technologies and connectivity to increase the productivity of fruit and vegetable farms, and the Nuts Hub area , dedicated to nuts. The Innovation Hub and Foro Innova will once again be centred on innovation and and new business developments in the industry. In this area, the fair will host the Accelera Awards for Innovation and Entrepreneurship , which have become a  vital event for supporting entrepreneurship in the sector.

Following last year’s superb reception, Flower&Garden Attraction will be located in hall 6, for the professional flower and live plants sector. Plus, this year it will also be hosting the new ecorganic market space.

And of course, the industry’s main fair will have a space for the Fruit Fusion section , which is representing again the gastronomic space within Fruit Attraction with appealing demonstrations and showcookings.

Fruit Attraction 2019, organised by IFEMA and FEPEX, will be held in Madrid from Tuesday the 22nd to Thursday the 24th of October, from 9:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
