Prodeca arranges more than 1,000 B2B meetings between Catalan companies and international buyers

Prodeca, the Catalan food promotion agency, will hold, as part of the Alimentaria fair taking place in Barcelona from 18 to 21 March, an International Buyers Programme aimed at fostering business meetings between Catalan companies and buyers from international markets. The aim is to boost exports of Catalan products to international markets and promote the internationalisation of the country's companies.

During the fair's first three days, at l'Espai Catalunya the Intercarn pavilion (Hall 3, B450), Prodeca expects to organise more than 1,000 B2B meetings between some 60 Catalan companies and 20 importers and distributors from strategic markets for the agri-food sector, such as Brazil, the United States, India, Mexico, Nigeria, Peru, Costa Rica and Uruguay.

Prodeca has drawn up a meeting schedule based on the commercial interests expressed by the international buyers. In a 20-minute meeting format, they offer a unique opportunity for Catalan companies to make initial connections with foreign importers and distributors, present their products and explore new business opportunities. This efficient format speeds up the initial contact process and encourages synergies between the various players in the agri-food sector.

Prodeca's organisation of initiatives like this reaffirms its commitment to promoting Catalan food internationally and to its role as a support platform for Catalan agri-food companies. By facilitating these business meetings, it raises the visibility of Catalan products in the global market and helps strengthen the competitiveness of the Catalan agri-food sector.
