Fruit Attraction 2026: Trade success and agrifood innovation

Overview

The 18th edition of the Fruit Attraction horticultural trade fair at IFEMA Madrid served as a major global hub, hosting approximately 121,000 professionals and 2,500 companies. The event generated 419 million euros for the Community of Madrid and featured significant international participation, including delegations from Italy, Chile, Colombia, and Egypt, the latter of which saw a 24% increase in exhibitors diversifying into avocados and berries.

Leading up to and during the event, participants focused on addressing global challenges through innovation. Proexport, representing Murcia, occupied over 2,300 square meters to facilitate 300 business meetings, while Cso Italy coordinated 30 companies from the Ferrara region. Technology providers like AZUD and Agritech Murcia showcased advancements in water management and irrigation efficiency. Seed companies, including Yuksel Seeds, Sakata Valencia Fruits, and Hazera, presented new varieties such as the Sweetloom tomato and mini seedless watermelons designed to meet consumer trends for flavor and convenience.

The fair also highlighted specialized sectors, such as the International Potato Symposium featuring the Princesa Amandine brand. Industry discussions addressed critical constraints, including the impact of El Niño and rising production costs. The IBO Global Blueberry Report 2026 noted that while production could exceed 3.36 million tons by 2029, the sector faces challenges regarding land, water, and labor.

Sustainability and financing remained central. The event featured circular packaging solutions from ILIP and UNIQ, while the financial entity Cajamar facilitated specialized agreements for cooperatives. Additionally, BBVA reported that agrifood financing reached 16 billion euros by the end of Q1 2026.
