Italian Berry Magazine - Special edition Berry Area at Macfrut 2025





Berry Area is the new communication project dedicated to the strawberry and berry industry, developed by the Italian Berry publishing group in collaboration with the University of Marche and Macfrut.

This networking and information format brings together the entire sector, from nurseries to processing technologies, up to the key players in a market that, in 2024, generated over €620 million in consumer spending in Italy.

Through this page and our magazine, readers will receive direct updates from the project’s partner companies.

From May 6 to 8, 2025, at the Rimini Expo Centre, Berry Area will be the go-to hub for those seeking solutions for cultivation and commercialization.

Visitors will have the opportunity to meet companies and follow a rich program of events featuring top industry experts, with insights into research, agronomic innovation, and market analysis.
