Prodeca - DACC is organising the Prodeca Buyers Programme at Alimentaria 2024 from 18 to 21 March, as part of the Alimentaria fair in Barcelona, with the aim of boosting business meetings between Catalan companies and buyers from international markets.
PARTICIPATING MARKETS
Up to 25 buyers from the following markets are expected to take part:
- Brasil
- Colombia
- Costa Rica
- United States
- India
- Mexico
- Nigeria
- Peru
- Uruguay
CATEGORIES OF INTEREST
The buyers programme focuses on food categories. Wine is not included.
Registered companies will receive a form to fill in their details and the products they wish to include in the meetings with buyers.
Based on the buyers' selection and the offer from the participating Catalan companies, Prodeca will draw up an individual meeting schedule.
CONDITIONS OF PARTICIPATION
Catalan producers and manufacturers of products in the categories listed may take part in the rounds of meetings with the buyers selected for this programme, provided they meet one of the following criteria:
- Companies exhibiting at Alimentaria 2024, in one of the Catalonia pavilions or with their own stand
If a non-exhibiting company wishes to take part in the meeting rounds, Prodeca will assess this based on the number of companies offering products in the same family and the availability of time slots for meetings. Final inclusion of a non-exhibiting company in the meeting rounds does not entitle it to a pass or invitation arranged by Prodeca. Access to the Alimentaria venue is, in any case, the non-exhibiting company's responsibility.
The buyers will select the companies they wish to meet and Prodeca will inform the selected companies of the date and time of the meetings.
The business rounds will take place at the Alimentaria fair in Barcelona, in the Catalonia pavilion in the Intercarn hall, in areas set aside for the purpose.
Catalan companies will have 20 minutes per scheduled meeting. Prodeca will be very strict about punctuality. If a company arrives late, it will lose its meeting time. Meetings will not be rescheduled.
APPLICATION DEADLINE
- Closing date for applications: 11 March 2024
PARTICIPATION PRICE
- The cost of this activity is covered by Prodeca - DACC, so there is no price for this activity.
