INTERPOM | PRIMEURS is the most specialized indoor trade fair in Europe for the potato, vegetable and fruit sector where the whole chain is represented, from growers to processing and marketing. INTERPOM | PRIMEURS counts 278 exhibitors (+14% exhibition space) from 15 different countries and 19.529 visitors (+10,5%) of which 23% from abroad (41 countries).
