Cheese and Dairy Products Show goes standalone with 270 exhibitors and 7,600 visitors

Comexposium reported that the 19th Cheese and Dairy Products Show closed after three days having been held, for the first time, at a different time from the International Agricultural Show and concurrently with the Gourmet Selection trade fair. The organiser said the change let the fair establish itself as a standalone event while creating synergies between complementary sectors. The edition gathered 270 exhibitors representing nearly 400 brands from 15 countries, with 48% of exhibitors from abroad and 33% exhibiting for the first time. It drew 7,600 trade visitors, 26% of them international from 74 countries, and international buyer numbers rose 25% against 2024. The top ten visitor countries were Belgium, Italy, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, the United States, Algeria and Japan, while the leading French regions outside Paris were Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Hauts-de-France, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Pays de la Loire and Normandy. Show director Fernando Medina Zenoff said the pairing with Gourmet Selection generated tangible momentum in networking and business opportunities.
