24/04/2020 – 26/04/2020 10:00 – 22:00

The main aim of the Malta AgriFair 2020 is to bring together major stakeholders in the Agriculture and Fisheries sectors, from large organisations to small and medium scale enterprises (SMEs), where it will provide a platform for both the local farming community, as well as the producers, to inform and communicate to the general public about the industries’ products and services. The event is also aimed at showcasing agribusinesses and promoting farming and fishing opportunities amongst the general public, while also creating a networking opportunity for all stakeholders involved in the agricultural and fisheries sectors. The Fair will be spread over a period of three (3) days, starting from Friday 24th to Sunday 26th April 2020 (both days included) and will be held at the Malta Fairs and Conventions Centre (MFCC) in Ta’ Qali. The concept behind this first of its kind event is that of Farm-to-Fork, whereby the food chain system of food production, harvesting, processing, distribution, and consumption processes will be demonstrated in the most visual, innovative and interactive manner. Around 90 exhibitors will be participating in this event, with those attending being able to enjoy various technological renditions of farming, operations and produce.

The Fair will involve various features, including the display of new cultivation technologies, crop varieties, latest machinery and equipment, showcasing of local produce with focus on the farm-to-fork cycle, a section dedicated to products from livestock, showcasing of animal husbandry and a section dedicated to fisheries, aquaculture and modern fishing and fish-farming methods. The Fair will also focus on major interactive attractions  and structures for all the family focusing on crop and land management, livestock produce and fisheries, while also including an entertainment area, kids area, food court culinary experiences and an on-site restaurant with a farm setting serving local produce. Furthermore, the Fair will also feature agri-related tours, consultants from major educational institutions providing guidance on educational opportunities and courses of study, live entertainment, networking opportunities for agri-businesses and stakeholders and concurrently ongoing conferences, seminars and side events throughout the day.
