Catalonia sets a record for business participation and floor space at ANUGA 2025

Catalonia consolidates its international presence at ANUGA 2025, one of the world's most important food and drink fairs, held from 4 to 8 October in Cologne (Germany). This edition the Espai Catalunya has broken all participation records with 43 companies and more than 650 m² booked, the highest figure yet at this biennial event. In all, Catalonia will have close to 90 exhibiting companies, half of them under the umbrella of the Government of Catalonia.

The Espai Catalunya, organised by Prodeca, debuts this year with its own stand in Hall 6.1, devoted to fresh meat, and consolidates its presence in other strategic sectors: cured meats (Hall 7.1), multiproduct (Hall 11.1) and Gourmet (passage 4&5).

The Catalan delegation will also have the institutional support of the Government of Catalonia, with the attendance of the Secretary General for Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Food, Cristina Massot, accompanied by Prodeca's director, Dèlia Perpiñà.

"This year's milestone confirms the Catalan agri-food sector's commitment to internationalisation and market diversification. ANUGA is a first-rate platform that lets us project Catalan quality, innovation and food culture to distributors and opinion leaders around the world", said Dèlia Perpiñà, director of Prodeca.

For her part the Secretary General of the Department of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Food, Cristina Massot stressed that "this historic presence at ANUGA shows the strength and cohesion of our sector. Working together, companies and institutions can not only open new markets but also position Catalonia as a European benchmark in agri-food quality, sustainability and innovation".

During their time at the fair the Government's institutional delegation met the Catalan beef sector companies at Anuga to follow closely the situation arising from the case of lumpy skin disease (LSD) detected on Saturday at a farm in the Empordà. At the meeting the Secretariat General assured the companies of full coordination between the Department of Agriculture and the sector and reiterated the Government's commitment to guaranteeing cattle vaccination to protect animal health.

With more than 8,000 exhibitors from 118 countries and 140,000 trade visitors from 200 countries, ANUGA is considered the great global showcase for agri-food innovation. This year's edition focuses on sustainability, alternative proteins, personalised nutrition and the sector's digitalisation.
