These meetings present the perfect opportunity for markets from different parts of the world to exchange information and knowledge and establish relationships between one other.

On this occasion, the conferences dealt with European legislation on food market issues and the relocation and modernisation of wholesale markets. Business opportunities in the food distribution chain were also analysed, along with future prospects for Central and Eastern European markets.

Representing Mercabarna at the conference was Montserrat Gil de Bernabé, Mercabarna's Managing Director, and Joaquim Ros, Markets and Promotion Manager, who took advantage of their stay in Prague to visit the stalls that the Mercabarna company, Frutas y Hortalizas Gavà, has at the wholesale market in the capital of the Czech Republic.
