These events have been temporarily swept away by COVID-19 and the accompanying lock downs. Last year’s virtual Nampo did its best to recreate the experience, with auditoriums and show rooms – even Grain SA’s radio station to help create the Nampo ambience. There were some advantages – being able to see who was present (and, of course, being able to communicate directly with them) – but nothing beats the real experience.
This year we have had contact with the Italian Trade Agency, a trade and investment agency promoting Macfrut 2021, the “Fruit & Veg Professional Show” in Rimini, Italy, which takes place from Tuesday 7 September to Thursday 9 September.
From our experience, shows usually try to pack in as many people as possible, and lay on entertainment for those not specifically interested in agricultural wares and services. This either makes the excursion a day-out for the whole family, or waters-down the show’s focus, depending on your perspective.
Macfrut is reserved for sector specialists. Registration is maintains professional standards but probably more to do with the pandemic. Visitors will need a Green Pass of international certificate showing that they are free of COVID. View the Macfrut page on our website for an overview and to find the brochure of the event.
