Fortaleza hosts 70th Expoece agricultural fair

The 70th edition of the Ceará State Agricultural and Industrial Exhibition (Expoece) begins this Saturday in Fortaleza. Held at the Governador César Cals Exhibition Park, the event runs from October 31 to November 8.

Organizers expect the fair to attract 300,000 visitors and generate approximately R$ 30 million in business. The program includes animal exhibitions, such as a first-time Nelore breed ranking, regional gastronomy, and musical performances by local artists.

The event also features an Emporium of Family Farming, organized by the Ceará Secretariat of Agrarian Development (SDA). This space will host about 20 cooperatives, allowing small-scale producers to sell fruits, vegetables, grains, honey, and dairy products directly to the public.
