"There is a great desire to meet and be present, and this is confirmed by the unexpected figures that this edition records "said Renzo Piraccini, President of Macfrut," The last 2 years have been difficult because of the pandemic , but today Macfrut offers the opportunity not only to be present again, but also to resume the contacts that have already been made, and the more than 500 international buyers represent an important point.
From an agricultural point of view, 2020 has also been a traumatic year (hail, environmental disasters ...) but despite this, and despite the uncertainty, companies want to start over. And Macfrut, as always, meets expectations. "
According to the participants in the show, the number of visitors is lower than previous events but the quality of the people present is considered good. These visitors show interest in all innovations, new applications, new tools.
Many delegations from abroad such as Mozambique, Ethiopia, Kenya, Georgia, Dominican Republic, Chile ...
The opening event took place on the macfrutdigital.com platform: The China Day, an event dedicated to exchanges with China, which turned out to be rich in proposals and ideas, in particular during the Italy-China Forum. The creation of a logistics hub in northeastern Italy for trade with China has been proposed. And the presidents of the port of Ravenna and of MAAP, the fruit and vegetable market of Padua, responded positively to this proposal.
