which brings in this edition its freshest and sportiest proposal: the “Olympicnic”.
“We wanted to take advantage of this year, which is so special for us, to partner with
the world of sports,” explains Daniel Soares, Interfel's international director. “Because
of their quality and freshness, our fruits and vegetables are the perfect allies for those
seeking an active and healthy lifestyle,” he adds.


Under the concept of “Olympicnic”, Interfel offers a proposal that combines sport and
nutrition. Visitors attending to the interprofessional stand in Hall 6 will be able to taste
delicious snacks prepared by chef Charles Soussin, enjoy the best cuisine in the
French restaurant and relax playing mini-golf and basketball. In addition, they will be
able to enter the draw for checks worth €500, €300 and €150 by scanning the QR codes
that they will find in each of the 19 stands of the associated companies.

presentations.

carving master Brigitte Delanghe. The specialist, who has been awarded Best Worker

them, and make fruitful contacts,” says Soares. “For us, Fruit Attraction is a key
opportunity to improve competitiveness, increase our market share and open new
international markets,” concludes Soares.
