Compared to the previous edition, 11 more countries have already been accredited with delegations for business meetings in Verona 2-5 February 2012. The number of selected buyers is also up: 320 compared to 250 at the previous edition (+28%). CEO Giovanni Mantovani: "VeronaFiere's network of delegates has selected qualified buyers from countries with an positive growth outlook in agriculture and agro-foods." Zoosystem: a world landmark for cattle shows and genomics research.

 

Fieragricola in Verona is increasingly global. The International Agri-Business Show is the claim for the exhibition dedicated to the primary field. And edition number 110 of Fieragricola (www.fieragricola.it) keeps faith with expectations. Actually, re-launches them. For the benefit of all trade operators and to help increase the export vocation typical of Italian agriculture, from agricultural machinery to agro-food products, that alone generate a flow worth 124 billion euros.

320 buyers from 46 countries world-wide. As of today, Fieragricola can announce that 46 countries will send delegations of buyers to the event scheduled 2-5 February 2012. From the Mediterranean to the Middle East, from Latin America to Asia and Africa. Eleven countries more than for the 2010 edition.

The list of international delegations currently accredited for Fieragricola – thanks to the collaboration of VeronaFiere's international delegates and partners such as Multirep, ICE and Onemedit – includes the following countries: Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Myanmar, Philippines, Laos, Thailand, Turkey, Iran, Israel, Rumania, Tunisia, Algeria, Egypt, Syria, Brazil, Chile, Columbia, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela, Argentina, Russia, Ukraine, Hungary, Bulgaria, Poland, Camerun, Iraq, Congo, Angola and Morocco.

There will also be more buyers: on the eve of Fieragricola 2012, 320 buyers are confirmed. A significant boost (+28%) compared to the previous edition in 2010. "VeronaFiere," said CEO & Director General, Giovanni Mantovani, "thanks to an effective network of international delegates operating all over the world, has managed to attract to Fieragricola - effectively the first international event dedicated to agriculture - a very high number of operators from areas around the world experiencing significant expansion, such as India and South East Asia, Latin America and Africa."

Moreover, Fieragricola will assist several groups of university students and international visitors during visits to local agricultural companies.

Zoosystem: the international pole. Animal farming also emphasises its vocation for internationalisation through one of the most representative events at Fieragricola. The ring at VeronaFiere (Hall 9) will see European comparisons involving Friesian cattle with the 11th edition of the "European Open Holstein Show".

And that's not all. As regards dairy farming, the VeronaFiere exhibition dedicated to the primary sector will host the Interbull World Workshop, with a focus on dairy cattle genomics. The project will involve a million head of cattle and 40 scientists all over the world, with the objective of creating an international network and database for the exchange of information and genetic improvement of animals, in order to ensure better safety in dairy output and better livestock longevity.
