The Melilla Expo, as happened with the National Expoactiva that has just been held in Soriano after two years of absence from the calendar, was suspended in April 2020 and in April 2021a few weeks before the scheduled dates, since on both occasions there was an increase in the local impact of the covid pandemic.
In those two years there were, due to exhibitor initiatives supported by the ARU, virtual activities – remotely – or in person at the venue, applying the health protocols indicated by the government.
This will be the first edition of Expo Melilla under the new government administration, the first with Gonzalo Valdés Requena as president of the ARU and the first since the UAM was inaugurated in a neighboring property.
This exhibition, which the ARU added a few years ago to its other great exhibition, the Expo Prado, is a stage in which Technologies are exhibited with a focus on various items, in many cases with demonstrative areas – for example, pastures or animal feed – and dynamic – with exhibitions of machinery, equipment and tools..
In the active area, exhibitions of machinery and other technologies are held, crop and pasture management will be seen, there will be irrigation and greenhouse demonstrations, to mention some of the various proposals.
