Exploring the Global Seafood Industry: Seafood Expo Global 2024 – Seafood Expo Global, also known as Seafood Processing Global is the most extensive trade fair covering the entire seafood industry. Seafood Expo 2024 is set to welcome an audience of over 33,000 visitors from 23rd to 25th April 2024 at Fira Barcelona. The seafood’s previous fair edition broke several records: highest attendance rates, extensive product offering, and largest exhibition space. With the rising popularity of Seafood Expo Global 2024, it quickly became the international reference point for the most relevant trends in processing, packaging equipment, quality control, and food safety sectors.
At Seafood Expo Global, exhibitors present the latest seafood products – fresh, frozen, canned, preserved, value-added, processed, and packaged – to seafood buyers from around the world, including supermarkets, restaurants, hotels, caterers, importers, distributors, seafood markets and other retail and foodservice companies. Seafood Processing Global highlights every aspect of seafood processing, including processing equipment, packaging materials, machinery, chilling and freezing equipment, aquaculture supplies, hygiene control, sanitation, and quality control services.
The 2024 edition will include over 79 exhibiting countries to date and is still growing with new regional pavilions from Brazil, France, the Republic of Korea, and Japan and new country participation from Albania, Azerbaijan, Brazil, and the Dominican Republic.
A number of participating aquaculture, aquaculture equipment companies, and companies working towards sustainability will be showcasing their latest innovations.
The conference program will include a keynote address from Mark Blyth, The William R. Rhodes ’57 Professor of International Economics, The Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs at Brown University, and more than 20 informative sessions by world experts in the industry. Conference sessions will cover a range of topics including aquaculture, sustainability, food safety and compliance policy, traceability and transparency, climate change, the impacts and implications of IUU fishing, and more.
As in previous editions, the Expo will also present the Seafood Excellence Global Awards, which recognizes the best seafood products represented at the event.
