Both fairs will be held from 30 September to 3 October and will be held in person.
The Sant Miquel Agricultural Fair and the Eurofruit show have already reached 88% occupancy of the total gross exhibition space (64,000 m2), with two months to go. The 67th edition of the Sant Miquel Agricultural Fair (National Agricultural Machinery Show) and the 36th edition of Eurofruit (Professional Trade Fair for Fruit Industry Suppliers) will be held from 30th September to 3rd October at the Fira de Lleida facilities.
The general manager of Fira de Lleida, Oriol Oró, believes that the rate of contracting is correct, considering the current circumstances, and he is confident of being able to hold “a good trade fair in person, provided, of course, that the conditions and health guidelines in force on those dates allow it”. Oró recalls that Sant Miquel and Eurofruit constitute an important platform for supporting the agricultural world, especially in these times of pandemic, and that Fira de Lleida “is making a great effort to guarantee the holding of an attractive, complete and safe fair”.
It is worth remembering that the event will have a pioneering Artificial Intelligence solution implemented by Fira de Lleida to ensure the health safety of exhibitors and visitors. This is a video camera system that will monitor people entering and leaving the fairgrounds and will automatically warn them in real time when the protocols of capacity, social distance, use of masks, etc. are not met, so that security personnel will be able to act to rectify the situation.
Sant Miquel and Eurofruit will showcase a wide-ranging exhibition focusing on agricultural machinery, precision agriculture, equipment and services for agriculture and livestock farming, local agri-food products, automotive, financial services and insurance.
The Sant Miquel Agricultural Fair and Eurofruit will host a large number of exhibitors from Spain and other European countries, according to Fira de Lleida’s forecasts, with a programme of parallel activities that will include technical seminars, conferences, presentations, drone demonstrations in the field of precision agriculture and professional meetings, among others.
The two trade fairs will also be the setting for the 50th edition of the Agricultural Book Prize, worth 3,000 euros, and the 6th edition of the Agricultural Technical Article Prize, worth 1,000 euros.
