Catalonia World Region of Gastronomy at Gastronomic Forum Barcelona

Almost 100 Catalan producers, companies and organisations are taking part in Gastronomic Forum Barcelona, held on 4, 5 and 6 November 2024 at Fira de Barcelona's Montjuïc venue, in an initiative coordinated by Prodeca, the Barcelona Provincial Council's Xarxa de Productes de la Terra, Lleida Provincial Council and Girona Excellent.

The Catalan companies represent the country's various agri-food sectors: meat and cured meats, fine food products, oil, wine, fish and shellfish and fruit and vegetables. All exhibit under the brand "Catalonia, World Region of Gastronomy 2025".  

Catalonia will showcase its World Region of Gastronomy 2025 distinction, as the first European region to receive this title, which rewards our country's diversity and richness. A benchmark for food and culinary excellence and a leader in food and wine tourism, Catalonia has a cuisine that speaks of history, landscapes, the people who inhabit them, their customs, of life, present and future.

El Rebost de Catalunya, the space for presenting Catalonia's iconic products

Over the three days of Gastronomic Forum Barcelona, Prodeca, in collaboration with the provincial councils of Barcelona, Girona and Lleida, has set up "El Rebost de Catalunya", a space where the Catalan producers attending the event will present their iconic products, highlighting their attributes, distinctive features and uses in Catalan cooking.

More than 20 food and product activities have been programmed, with tastings for the trade audience led by the producers themselves to put their product centre stage. The classroom will seat 32 people, who will be able to taste a wide variety of local products such as oil, meat, fruit, vegetables, wines and cheeses, some of them with origin and quality labels.

The organic sector takes part in Gastronomic Forum Barcelona at the Ecoteca stand

In line with Prodeca's strategy of boosting the competitiveness of local companies, the exhibition space will have an area devoted exclusively to the organic sector. The Ecoteca stand will bring together some ten Catalan companies certified by the Catalan Council for Organic Agricultural Production and listed in the Ecoteca section of Gastroteca, the leading marketing portal for Catalan agri-food products.

The formula for running the Ecoteca stand is rotating participation by Catalan companies: each day four companies from this segment will occupy the stand's counters.

Catalonia according to figures from the Catalan Council for Organic Agricultural Production, is the leading organic products market in Spain and southern Europe, with a market worth almost €1.3 billion  and more than 5,300 operators. These figures are the result of years of sustained growth (since 2011 organic turnover in Catalonia has multiplied almost tenfold), which has created the conditions to consolidate the processing industry.
