Sold out at Cibus 2024 (Parma, 7-10 May), the reference event for the Made in Italy agri-food sector, the result of the consolidated collaboration between Fiere di Parma and Federalimentare.
A 22nd edition which this year will surpass any other in terms of the number of exhibitors (over 3,000 brands and a waiting list of 600 companies) and the presence of buyers from Italian and international large-scale retail trade - more than 1,000 already registered to date - coming from markets such as the United States, Germany, Spain, France, the United Kingdom and the Middle East.
2024 will also be the year of the countries of the ASEAN area, with the return of China, the great absentee during the pandemic, and an important delegation from Japan.
A show that also proves to be active on the world stage, with a strategy that aims to create what Antonio Cellie, CEO of Fiere di Parma, defines as "a system of national and international alliances that consolidates Italian and European agri-food as a reference for conscious and sustainable consumption on a global level. Our events guarantee not only a trade fair but an experiential path designed to accompany markets, even distant ones, towards our food model. The finalization of the partnership with Koelnmesse is part of this strategy".
"With the support of Koelnmesse, the two events will be able to count on more international visitors and exhibitors, also thanks to a reprogramming of the calendars that will harmonize Cibus, Tuttofood and Anuga, the Koelnmesse food and beverage fair.
Cibus will thus be able to consolidate its role as facilitator of the development of Italian agri-food exports, while Tuttofood will see foreign exhibitors grow from the current 10% to at least 50% in the space of two editions", remarks Cellie.
Cibus has 120 thousand square meters of exhibition space distributed across eight pavilions.
New to this edition will be the "Cibus delle idee" area, which will enhance the innovative drive of the exhibiting companies at the event.
