Looking Ahead to the 2021 Seafood Expo Global in Barcelona, Spain - Food Export Association of the Midwest USA and Food Export USA

Seafood Expo Global, the largest seafood industry trade show, attracting attendees from more than 150 countries, has been scheduled for April 27-29, 2021 in Barcelona, Spain. Food Export–Northeast is once again organizing and hosting a seafood pavilion at the show for Northeast US seafood suppliers. The show’s move from Brussels to Barcelona has allowed Food Export–Northeast to expand its 2021 pavilion to 20 booths in a variety of sizes and has added a private meeting room in addition to its popular exhibitor lounge. This event will provide suppliers the opportunities to:

Introduce new products to the market;
Meet with new buyers and existing customers;
Evaluate industry-wide trends;
And discover what’s next in the seafood industry.

There are numerous ways to work with Food Export–Northeast today to start preparing for the trade show:
