Spanish Chambers of Commerce launch international trade and sustainability initiatives

The Chamber of Commerce of Zamora participated in PANIBERIA 2026 to conclude the TransCoLab Plus project, a cross-border initiative co-financed by the European Union through the Interreg VI-A Spain-Portugal program. Held in Bragança, Portugal, the project focused on the cereal and industrial sectors, showcasing solutions to reduce food waste and optimize organic by-products. The initiative included practical demonstrations, artisanal bakery workshops, and a training program that enhanced the environmental competencies of over fifty regional professionals.

Separately, the Chamber of Commerce of Linares, supported by the European Regional Development Fund, has organized a training cycle for the agri-food sector in Jaén. The program, part of the PYME Global initiative, aims to equip companies with the regulatory, tariff, and logistical tools required to export food and beverages to China. The sessions cover market penetration, technical regulations, GACC registration, and sanitary registration via the CIFER system, including requirements for simplified Chinese labeling and logistics management.
