A total of 30 companies from the Region of Murcia will participate from next Monday in the 39th edition of the Salón Gourmets, the main European fair for high-quality food and beverages, which will be held at Ifema Madrid from April 13 to 16.
The regional presence at this professional meeting “will serve to further promote Murcian agri-food products in one of the main showcases of the gourmet sector at a national and international level,” highlighted the Minister of Water, Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, Sara Rubira, who recalled that “this fair is a strategic opportunity to continue positioning the quality and excellence of the products of the Region of Murcia in the most demanding markets.”
The Community's institutional space will host tastings, gastronomic demonstrations and meetings with professionals from the distribution, hospitality and catering sectors during the four days of the fair, with the aim of fostering new business opportunities.
Rubira stressed that “the quality of our food, the innovation of our companies and the strength of the regional agri-food industry are our best calling cards.”
This year's edition is expected to bring together more than 2,000 national and international exhibitors and is expected to exceed 110,000 professional visitors, consolidating its position as one of the major European events for premium products.
Salón Gourmets thus becomes “a great showcase for increasing the number of consumers who choose the quality products of the Region of Murcia, a guarantee of excellence, in national and international markets,” the Regional Minister pointed out. “For this reason, it is important to continue promoting these products through participation in fairs like this, in order to strengthen the sector's competitiveness,” she concluded.
