The biggest show ever
by Eurofish
Seafood Expo Global and Seafood Processing Global are arguably the most important events in the seafood world’s calendar. Held in parallel at the Fira de Barcelona exhibition grounds, the events cater to companies along the entire seafood supply chain and to the manufacturers of equipment and providers of services to the industry.
This year the events were bigger than ever, occupying almost 50,000 square meters of space or a fth more than the previous largest edition (in 2019) and almost a quarter more than in 2022 which was the rst year the event was held in Barcelona. Occupying this area were 89 regional and national pavilions and 2,000 companies from 87 countries. Countries from across the globe that were not present last year were represented this year indicating the international character of the event. Several countries, including Australia, Saudi Arabia, and the Seychelles, were present with pavilions for the rst time while others such as Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and the US expanded their presence with new regional pavilions, and yet others—China, the Spanish regions of Catalan and Galicia, Portugal and the Netherlands— returned to this edition after a break.
