The Algerian participation in the Fruit Attraction 2026 exhibition, held in Madrid from October 6-8, concluded on Thursday. The event, which took place at the IFEMA Madrid exhibition center, saw the participation of 10 Algerian economic operators active in the agricultural and food products sector. The Algerian delegation was led by the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Export Promotion. The participation was marked by the presence of the Algerian ambassador to Spain.
The Algerian participants achieved a promising trade outcome, signing 8 cooperation memoranda with foreign counterparts. These memoranda aim to export Algerian agricultural products to several European markets, opening up new avenues for national products and establishing additional commercial partnerships in foreign markets. The memoranda were signed with various international companies, paving the way for increased trade between Algeria and European countries.
A significant outcome of the participation was the signing of a contract to export plastic packaging products to the German market, valued at approximately $3 million. This contract reflects the growing external demand for Algerian industrial products linked to agricultural and food value chains. The export contract is expected to boost Algeria's industrial sector and enhance its presence in the European market.
The Fruit Attraction 2026 exhibition provided a platform for promoting Algerian products and showcasing the country's production and export capabilities. The event enabled direct connections with international markets and distribution networks, particularly in Europe. The exhibition also offered opportunities for Algerian companies to learn about the latest trends and technologies in the agricultural sector.

The goal is to convert participation in international fairs into actual commercial opportunities, export contracts, and sustainable partnerships. This approach aligns with the instructions of the country's top authorities.
During the exhibition, Algerian companies engaged in a series of initial commercial meetings with foreign counterparts. These meetings are expected to lead to further agreements and commercial contracts in the coming period.
