The Government of Catalonia's Delegation in Andorra is supporting Ordino Gourmet and promoting the participation of Catalan agri-food producers in this event, held as part of the 31st Andorra Food Festival on 9 and 10 November 2024 at theAndorra Congrés Centre Ordino (ACCO).

DESCRIPTION OF THE EVENT

Ordino Gourmet is the local agri-food producers' market held in November as part of the 31st Andorra Food Festival.

Ordino Gourmet is designed as a space for displaying and selling local artisan agri-food products.

The organisers set a 150-kilometre radius for the origin of the agri-food producers.

Opening hours:

• Saturday 9/11 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
• Sunday 10/11 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

This year Ordino Gourmet holds its third edition. Over the weekend the organisers expect around 1,500 people to attend. The centrepiece is a lunch held on the Sunday.

CONDITIONS OF PARTICIPATION AND ADMISSION CRITERIA

Conditions of participation:

• Food companies interested in taking part must contact the organisers by emailing Judit Cerdaña's contact address.
• Company registrations will be accepted until the space contracted for this fair is fully allocated.
• Spaces will be allocated in strict order of arrival of registrations and by product, so as to guarantee a good offering for visitors.
• If demand for spaces exceeds supply, the organisers will apply the order of registration.

The organisers reserve the right to select companies on the basis of sector fit and the product's suitability for the market. Likewise, if there is high demand for spaces from a particular sector, company participation will be limited to avoid an excessive concentration of similar offerings.

COST OF PARTICIPATION

• The organisers cover the cost of the stalls and provide electricity free of charge.

ORGANISATION OF THE STAND

Each exhibitor will have a Catalan-style market stall (2 m x 1 m) including a counter with their logo, a stool and the company name clearly visible.

The basic decoration will be the same for all stands. Exhibitors may use their own additional promotional materials (vinyls, roll-ups, signage, etc.) provided they do not alter the overall look of the stand and they inform the organisers in advance, bearing the installation costs.

If an exhibitor needs extra furniture or other services not included in the conditions of the call, they must arrange and pay for them. Each company is responsible for hiring glassware, fridges and/or other electrical appliances if needed.

Any extras companies bring to the fair, whether furniture, services or electrical appliances, must be notified to the organisers well in advance. If the organisers have no record of these items and they cause any kind of problem on site, the company must remove them.

Set-up and placing of samples on the stands will take place on Friday 8 November and dismantling on Sunday 10 November from 5 p.m., once the fair has ended and following the fair organisers' instructions.

The organisers provide support throughout and will even travel to the border if necessary to help with customs formalities.

The organisers do not pay for stallholders' accommodation but have arranged special rates with a hotel in Ordino.

APPLICATION DEADLINE

• Closing date for applications: 26 July 2024

A company will be considered admitted once it has sent the participation application and received confirmation from the organisers.

TRANSPORT OF SAMPLES

Transport and receipt of samples is at the expense and responsibility of the exhibiting company.
