Salaam Gateway (SG): What can we expect at the III International Halal Congress of Alimentaria?
Javier Albarracín: Alimentaria is one of the biggest food and beverage expos in the world, among the top seven. During the last ‘normal edition’ – before COVID-19 – there were more than 4,500 exhibitors, and more than 150,000 visitors from around the world. While Europe is very well represented, it is also international, with exhibitors from South America, the Middle East and East Asia. For this year’s expo, we have confirmation that more than 3,500 companies will attend.
