The show presented a series of activities and conferences. Specifically a substantial exhibition area with 160 booth exhibitors, seminars and match-making meeting programs were available for those participants interested.  The show drew key players from around the world and decision makers from every part of the agricultural trade industry. 

Many exhibitors commented that the show was an excellent source for networking!  There were numerous opportunities for making new contacts with buyers from the United States, Latin America, Europe and Canada.  Claudia Granados of Fair-Fruit Guatemala said,   “We are making quality contacts with not only buyers but with logistics companies, packaging and materials companies.” 

Gabriel Cespedes of Vegsa of Guatemala added, “The benefits of participating in Agritrade are many, because of the opportunity to meet companies from the United States and Europe and that opens doors to new ventures.”
