Introduction：(Bta. 2015 - Barcelona Food Technologies)
Spain’s farming and Food sectors have registered uninterrupted growth since 2007, despite the economic and financial crisis, with exports reaching new highs in recent years. According to the Spanish industry association FIAB, Food and beverage exports amounted to €22.6 billion in 2013 alone. Food processing industry demand for modern machinery and equipment remains as high as ever. More than 1,100 new Food products are placed on the market in Spain annually, many of which can only be made using new and modern technologies. As Germany is Spain’s second largest trading partner (after France), Spain is a potentially lucrative market for German machinery and equipment manufacturers.
