“We’re 3.5 km from the exit of the federal road connecting Irapuato and Abasolo, in a location twice the size: 630 thousand square metres. The investment to improve the infrastructure has amounted to 60 million pesos (about 3.4 million Euro) and we are really happy with it. Visitors and exhibitors will have better and faster access to the show."
As regards the event’s capacity, Mr García Balderas states that this year there will be 1,300 exhibition spaces with some 800 different exhibitors from 46 countries. “Compared to last year the expansion in the area for exhibitors has amounted to about 60%, which is a substantial growth.”
One of the few little setbacks this year has been that the event will coincide with the celebration of Thanksgiving in the United States on Friday, “Next year we’ll organise the event again in the second week of November and everything will go back to normal,” Balderas affirms.
All in all, Mr Gustavo García Balderas is convinced that November is a great month for such an event, since its the best time of the year to launch new products in preparation for the upcoming New Year. Many farmers and growers always attend the event to learn more about the new products and to get acquainted with new supplies and materials for their business or expansions in the new season.
The trade show is the most important event in the field of greenhouse horticulture in Mexico. While the show is organized in the central region of Mexico, it also focuses on development in the entire country. As well as this, the event has proven to contribute to horticulture business development in North America in general, as the event brings together both international and local stakeholders and suppliers.
When? From 24-27 November in Irapuato, Mexico.
