The success of the Berry Area at Macfrut 2025 confirmed the importance of an event for the entire berry chain, where breeders, nurserymen, producers and wholesale and retail trade operators met.

A rich program of events and meetings took place in Hall B2, where an international audience of exhibitors, visitors, experts, researchers and analysts had the opportunity to discuss the opportunities and future challenges of the department's fastest growing category.

Thanks to more than 40 events, the Berry Shop curated by Italian Berry, a hall enlivened by numerous exhibitors' stands and sponsors' activities, for three days the Berry Area became the hub of the berries industry.

A success that Italian Berry helped to bring about, but which has developed and will continue to grow thanks to the numerous and enthusiastic participation of exhibitors and trade visitors.
