The Canadian Food Exporters Association is thrilled to invite Canadian agri-food companies to join us at Alimentaria, the biggest food, drink, and gastronomy fair in Spain! It’s happening from March 23-26, 2026, in Barcelona.
Alimentaria is an international benchmark for the food and drink industry, attracting over 150,000 buyers from around the world every two years. It’s not just about the exhibition; it’s a packed schedule with conferences, discussions, and networking events that will give you even more opportunities to connect with potential customers and partners.
If you’re thinking of participating, here’s what you need to know:
– Members: A 9sqm stand will cost CDN $4,579.00.
– Non-members: It’s $9,158.00.
Your Canada-branded stand will include an info counter with your company logo, stool, table, 3 chairs, glass display case, wastebasket, electrical outlet, and a storage area.
There’s a corner surcharge of CDN $500/member or $1000/non-member and we’ll allocate the corner on a draw basis once we’ve recruited all our participants.
Registration is available online at https://www.cfea.com/alimentaria-2026-registration.
Here are some of the amazing benefits of participating with us:
- You’ll save on space, travel, and shipping costs (members).
- We’ll take care of the event coordination, so you can focus on showcasing your products to European and International buyers.
- You’ll get to network with other Canadian companies and the Consulate Staff.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re excited to work with you!
Just a heads up, you don’t have to be a member to participate with us. Non-members will pay 100%, but if you’re interested in becoming a member, you can register online at https://www.cfea.com/exporter-membership-application/.
Cancellations will only be permitted if a replacement can be found to take the space. In the event a replacement can be found a $750.00 cancellation fee will be deducted from your refund.
