The results are very satisfactory for this 2022 edition of the medFEL show: a large number of visitors and 200 exhibitors present. This edition was the occasion for numerous business meetings and made it possible to highlight innovative products/services and to present the sectors of the future, but also to discuss the new challenges to which the sector must respond.

Innovation was a major theme with Lab’Innov by medFEL, a real space for innovation, which made it possible to highlight innovative products and/or services in terms of sustainable development, CSR, eco-responsibility, circular economy, zero-waste, ecological initiatives or even technological eco-innovations. Another important theme: the sectors of the future. For this first at the show, presentations on the nut sectors – almonds, walnuts, chestnuts and oilseeds – lentils.
The event also included many debates and round tables which attracted a large audience around topical issues. Of course, as usual, medFEL was the opportunity to announce the European apricot harvest forecasts, as well as the anticipation of melon plantations.
