medFEL 2022: 3151 professionals happy to be there!

During two days, on Wednesday 27th and Thursday 28th April 2002, more than 3 100 visitors have been walking through the aisles of Perpignan Exhibition Center to meet 200 exhibitors on site, representing the entire Fruit and Vegetable sector: producers, processors, suppliers, brands and retailers, transport and logistics…

This edition was the occasion to debate on the new challenges of the sector: companies in the Fruit and Vegetable sector are today obliged to fulfil consumer demands related to sustainability, CSR, environmental protection, zero pesticide residue, etc.

To this end, medFEL offered a fertile source of information and content, with key highlights including the announcement of European harvest forecasts for summer fruits and a whole series of debates and round tables on topical issues. On each intervention the Agora pulled in the crowds!
