Alimentaria 2010 in Barcelona

Alimentaria is the most important international food and beverages exhibition in Spain and one of the leading international events of this type. Its eighteenth edition will be held 22-26 March 2010 at Fira de Barcelona. The show will present the latest products from the international food and beverage industry, distribution channels and consumer tastes.

Alimentaria 2010 expects to bring together 4,000 leading food and beverage manufacturers and distributors, and anticipates that close to 130,000 professional buyers from more than 155 countries will attend. Once again, Alimentaria will be the international economic stage for the food and beverage industry and trade.

The event is committed to its successful and pioneering structure, which divides the exhibition space into sectors: 13 shows organised by product family. In addition, Alimentaria will once again offer an extensive programme of innovation- and research-related activities. 85% of the Spanish food and beverage industry is expected to attend the event, around 85,000 m2 dedicated to exhibition space and associated activities.
