The 19th edition of INTERPOM PRIMEURS will be held on Sunday 25 to Tuesday 27 November 2018 in Kortrijk Xpo (Belgium).
INTERPOM PRIMEURS is the most sharply focused indoor trade fair in Europe for the entire potato and vegetable sector. The whole chain will be taking part, from growers to processing and marketing.
Once again, the event has shown positive growth figures and with 315 exhibitors, stand space has already been fully booked, months before the opening. INTERPOM PRIMEURS is known as the largest international indoor potato trade event in the world, the leading trade platform where you can track the latest market developments, pricing trends and innovations.
The 2018 event expects to welcome some 20 000 visitors and will kick off the international ‘Can you imagine a world without potatoes?’ campaign.
All stand space fully booked
The last few editions of INTERPOM PRIMEURS have shown strong growth figures and increasing internationalization. Once again, every m2 of the exhibition complex at Kortrijk Xpo has been put to use and months before the event, it is already fully booked, even though we have added an extra 500m2 this year.
INTERPOM PRIMEURS will be showcasing a remarkably complete and specialised range of products, machines and services for the whole chain: growers, contractors, processors, packers, buyers and traders of fresh and processed potatoes and vegetables throughout Europe and increasingly from other continents too.
