International operators from countries including Slovenia, Croatia, Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, Russia, Poland, Germany, United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Spain, Romania, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Argentina, Colombia and Australia.
Fifty-five conferences and events organized in four days, the most important ‘big’ names in the meat sector (including, among others: Serafino Cremonini of Inalca, Fabrizio Guidetti of Unipeg, Maurizio Arosio, President of Federcarni, Gian Paolo Angelotti of Assomacellai Fiesa-Confesercenti, the President of the Italian Breeders Association, Pietro Salcuni, and the Presdent of Anas, Andrea Cristini) – not to mention show cooking with young butchers, star chefs such as Miguel Angel de la Cruz, competitions dedicated to Italian butchers and even a special event for “lady butchers”, tasting sessions of Italian and international meat assisted by professional tasters.
The 26th edition of Eurocarne closed with 170 exhibitors, more than 6,000 visitors (9% international) and delegations and international attendance largely from German-speaking countries (Germany, Switzerland and Austria), the Balkans area (Slovenia, Croatia, Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina), Eastern Europe (Russia, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Czech Republic) and North Africa (Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia). Important buyers also attended from the United Kingdom and Ireland, France, Spain, Argentina, Colombia and Australia.
“The next Eurocarne will be held in 2017 and thereafter will resume its traditional triennial scheduling”, said Giovanni Mantovani, CEO & Director General of Veronafiere. “The objective is to strengthen even further the main pillars sustaining the new approach: focus on industrial processing and preservation technologies and expansion to encompass the rest of the sector, from breeding centres to sales counters, with greater emphasis on the international character of the show. Not to mention space reserved for guided tastings, show cooking and specialized conferences”.
