Fruit Attraction

Information about specific editions of Fruit Attraction Fruit Attraction 2026 From April 13 to 16, 2026, the 39th edition will return to IFEMA with six halls and international activities. More information Fruit Attraction 2025 The 38th edition at IFEMA Madrid brought together over 117,000 professionals and 2,000 exhibitors. More information What is Fruit Attraction? Fruit Attraction is an international trade fair specializing in fruits and vegetables, organized by IFEMA Madrid in collaboration with FEPEX (the Spanish Federation of Associations of Fruit and Vegetable Exporting Producers). Its main goal is to promote global marketing of fruit and vegetable products, serving as a key business platform for the industry. The event fosters business development and global exports, creating the perfect environment for international supply and demand to meet at the ideal moment to plan campaigns and open new markets. In other words, Fruit Attraction provides an annual meeting point for all professionals across the value chain — from growers and cooperatives to wholesalers, retailers, logistics, and technology companies — and has become a key platform to showcase the latest trends and innovations in the fruit and vegetable industry. According to Impulsa Empresa, one indicator of its importance is the loyalty of its participants: more than 90% of exhibitors and 95% of visitors return year after year. This reflects the high level of satisfaction and relevance the fair holds for professionals in the field. At Fruit Attraction, companies not only showcase their products but also find opportunities to strengthen existing business relationships and create new ones in different markets, taking advantage of Spain’s strategic location (the gateway to Europe from Latin America) and the October dates, which are ideal for planning the following year’s campaigns. Sectors and Areas Participating in the Trade Show Fruit Attraction covers all sectors related to fruits and vegetables — from fresh produce to auxiliary services and technological innovations. To organize this diversity, the fair is divided into several main thematic areas, including the following: Fresh Produce: The core of Fruit Attraction, dedicated to showcasing fresh fruits and vegetables from around the world. Producers and distributors present a wide range of horticultural products here, including a specialized area for organic production (Ecorganic Market) that features certified organic products. Auxiliary Industry: This sector brings together suppliers and complementary services essential to the fruit and vegetable industry. It includes companies providing agricultural inputs (seeds, fertilizers), packaging and wrapping solutions, labeling systems, point-of-sale equipment, greenhouses, and more. This area is home to companies whose offerings support and facilitate fruit and vegetable production and marketing. Fresh Food Logistics: A zone dedicated to logistics and cold chain management for perishable goods. It brings together logistics operators, refrigerated transport companies, cold storage providers, and last-mile delivery solutions — all focused on maintaining the quality of fruits and vegetables from farm to consumer. This is the meeting point for professionals specialized in the transport and distribution of produce, a critical aspect given the perishable nature of these products. Innova & Tech: An area focused on innovation, technology, and agricultural R&D. Here, biotechnology companies, smart agro solutions, agricultural digitalization, and plant genomics innovators come together. This is where the latest technological solutions for the industry are showcased — from automation and sustainability to precision agriculture — featuring the annual Innovation Hub with groundbreaking products and the Innovation Hub Awards recognizing the most outstanding innovations in the fruit and vegetable sector. Key figures of Fruit Attraction 2025 (latest edition) To understand the scale of Fruit Attraction, it’s enough to look at the figures from its most recent edition (2025), which set new participation records: Exhibitors: 2,485 exhibiting companies from 64 countries. (A 13% increase in the number of exhibitors compared to the previous year.) Professional visitors: 121,137 attendees from 152 countries — all industry professionals (wholesalers, retailers, importers, etc.) — representing a 3% rise in visitors and a 5% increase in the number of countries compared to 2024. Exhibition area: 78,212 net m² of exhibition space, spread across 10 halls at the IFEMA venue. (An 11% growth in occupied area compared to the previous edition.) These figures highlight the truly international scale of Fruit Attraction. The 2025 edition attracted approximately 49% international visitors, reflecting the global reach of the event. Evolution in recent years Since its launch in 2009, Fruit Attraction has shown steady and remarkable growth. Its first edition featured 353 exhibitors and around 8,500 professional visitors — modest figures compared to today’s results. By 2017 (its 9th edition), the event had already surpassed 1,500 exhibitors and 68,000 visitors, and the upward trend continued, establishing it as one of the fastest-growing trade fairs in the international fresh produce circuit. The 2010s marked a decade of consolidation: each year saw an increase in participants and exhibition space, reflecting both the success of the fair and the expansion of Spain’s fruit and vegetable export industry. In 2018, as Fruit Attraction celebrated its 10th anniversary, the event was already held in October with over 1,600 companies and 70,000 professionals, reaffirming its key role in the sector. Importance within the industry and international position Today, Fruit Attraction is regarded as one of the most important fruit and vegetable trade fairs in the world. Its rapid growth and strong industry support have positioned it alongside other major international events such as Fruit Logistica (Berlin) and Asia Fruit Logistica, turning Madrid into an annual benchmark for the global fruit and vegetable industry. For Spain in particular, this fair holds strategic importance: as the European Union’s leading producer and exporter of fruits and vegetables (around 27 million tons annually, more than half of which are exported), Fruit Attraction serves as a showcase of this production strength and as a platform for expanding into new international markets. According to 2024 data, Spain’s fruit and vegetable sector generated €20.78 billion and accounted for 31% of the country’s agricultural production. Fruit Attraction reinforces this leadership by acting as a strategic meeting point between supply and demand and as a key driver for boosting the sector’s international

The 2026 agenda will be published on the official website; for now, the organizers have confirmed the framework and the dates. Event Scale: Why It’s Worth Being There When deciding whether to attend or exhibit, it helps to understand the real scale of the trade fair. The official 2025 figures set the bar high: 121,137 professionals from 152 countries — a record-breaking edition. 2,485 exhibiting companies from 64 countries. 78,212 m² of net exhibition space. Economic impact in Madrid: €407 million and 3,066 related jobs. In addition, the International Buyers Program attracted 600 major buyers (retailers, importers, and wholesalers), and the technical program featured more than 95 sessions across forums, seminars, and conferences. These figures explain why Fruit Attraction has become a true commercial pipeline accelerator for the industry. Tickets, Accreditation, and Professional Registration The fair is aimed exclusively at industry professionals. The registration and accreditation process is handled through the official website, with options for a professional pass and access to digital resources such as the Virtual Pass. If you’re planning your schedule, make the most of LIVE Connect, the networking platform that allows you to connect with exhibitors, discover products, and arrange meetings before arriving in Madrid. Tip: The sooner you complete your registration, the sooner you can start connecting and sending meeting requests through Live Connect. If you’re attending as a team, define roles (lead generation, partnerships, press, innovation scouting) and prepare a list of exhibitors by pavilion or area. If You’re Exhibiting: 10 Keys to Maximize Your Results Exhibiting at Fruit Attraction can generate strong brand impact and real business results — if you plan it right. IFEMA offers a dedicated “Want to Exhibit” section with useful documents (rules, exhibitor guide, and the Sustainable Participation Guide). From there, here are our practical recommendations: Secure your location earlyThe best islands and corner stands go fast. Match your briefing to the area that fits your goals (Fresh Produce, Auxiliary Industry, Innova & Tech, or Fresh Food Logistics) and define the visitor flow you want to attract. Design with purpose (not just beauty)Your booth should serve your goals — generating qualified leads, scheduling demos, launching new products, or opening new distribution channels. Translate each objective into a physical element (demo zone, meeting pods, B2B backroom, sampling counter, etc.). A clear, 5-second messageFront headline, short subclaim, and up to three key bullets. Think photo and video — much of your reach will later come from LinkedIn and press coverage. Visitor journey and “stops”Map the visitor’s path — what they see, touch, and try. For fresh produce, plan sampling and restocking carefully (cold chain and waste management). Visible, real sustainabilityFollow the official exhibitor guide: use recyclable materials, rent furniture, modular graphics, a waste plan, and impact measurement. These are also key criteria for the Best Stand Awards. Activate Live ConnectSchedule meetings in advance with key buyers and distributors, and reserve specific time slots in your team’s agenda for high-value visits. Data and lead qualification planDefine a simple form, MQL criteria, and a scanning + note-taking protocol. Centralize everything in a follow-up roadmap at 72 hours, 7 days, and 30 days. Logistics and operationsBook loading/unloading and services (electricity, cleaning, catering) well in advance. If you’re bringing fresh products, coordinate restocking times and entry/exit routes carefully. Activations and pressIf you’re competing in the Innovation Hub Awards or presenting new products, plan your photos, videos, media kit, and spokespeople in advance. The technical program and award details will be published on the website as the event approaches. Measurement and follow-upSet clear KPIs beforehand (leads, meetings, opportunities, distribution agreements, press mentions). Without metrics, there’s no ROI — or learning. At Servis, we’ve been designing and building trade fair stands for over 60 years — including Fruit Attraction — with one clear goal: helping you experience the show with peace of mind and guaranteed results. Tell us about your goals, and we’ll design a stand that truly works for them. Request proposal What happens after the trade show? The trade fair doesn’t end when visitors leave.
