PRESS RELEASE EXPO-CITFRESA 2010

On February 24th, 25th and 25th 2010, Cartaya will held the eighth edition of EXPO-CITFRESA, Europe´s Professional Feria for strawberry and citric, considered as a reference by the strawberry and citric professionals in the province of Huelva.

A sample of the importance of this great event is the fact that it is considered “exceptional” by the Junta de Andalucía. And the fact that everyone interested in the fruit and vegetable sector from Spain, the rest of European countries and elsewhere in the world will meet at this Feria.

During the last edition, it was attended by 60 exporting companies, between producers and specific products exporters, such as strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, nectarines, khakies and those purely devoted to the growing and export of citric, as well as a great number of auxiliary companies. Professionals from all over the world related to this sector and involved in highly selective agriculture visited the Feria.

After seven editions, it has been proved that EXPO-CITFRESA is the place for companies in this specialized sector to show their productions and make business contacts, since the Feria takes place during the agricultural season, both of strawberry and citric.

We must take in mind that EXPO-CITFRESA is the only Professional Fair of these characteristics taking place in Europe.

During the 2010 edition of the Feria and parallel to the marketing products exposed, there will be a number of other activities among which we should mention: Technical Conferences, which will enrich meetings between professionals, producers and traders from big distribution chains. At the same time, it is interesting to mention the II Bilateral Meeting University-Company, an activity which gets an increasingly interest by companies every year. And we want to remember that during the professional sessions on the days of the Feria, exhibitors will have the opportunity to publicize the latest news about their products.

One more year, the Organizing Committee of EXPO-CITFRESA promotes, through The Chamber of Commerce in Huelva, the presence of strawberry and citric producers from Huelva in Fruit Logistica Berlin 2010. In order to do this, Huelva participates in this important International Fair with stands to display its products and to taste “DeMenúHuelva”, cofinanced by the Diputación Provincial de Huelva, The Chamber of Commerce, the Port Authority, Caja Rural Foundation and Extenda.

From the organization of EXPO-CITFRESA we are working to strengthen Huelva Day at the Fair in Berlin, encouraging a greater participation of companies and foreing traders, potential buyers of products from Huelva, where we invite them to visit Huelva stand in Hall 18.
