The Lorca Ifelor fairgrounds and conference center have become too small to meet the high demand from companies that wish to participate in the 56th edition of the Sepor livestock, industrial and agri-food fair, which will be held from October 23 to 26. “We do not have space” to meet the requests of national and international exhibitors who wish to be present at the exhibition, said the manager of the fair, Patry Bermúdez, and this despite the fact that it will occupy almost the entire surface of the fair, 14,800 square meters.

The mayor highlighted that Sepor is the “flagship” of fairs in Lorca, “a city willing to become a benchmark in the celebration of fairs and congresses.” This year, Sepor will have 135 exhibiting companies and more than 450 brands will be represented. It will also have 150 sponsors and collaborators. It is also confirmed as the most international edition of those held so far with companies from Italy, Germany, Holland, Portugal, Chile, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea Conakry, Central African Republic, Congo, Cameroon, Iraq and Kurdistan, among others.

The mayor, Fulgencio Gil, highlighted that Sepor is the “flagship” of fairs in Lorca, “a city willing to become a benchmark in the celebration of fairs and congresses.” He also considered the exhibition as a recognition of the Lorca ranchers, “tireless workers, who have known how to adapt to the times and who generate thousands of direct and indirect jobs.” It is “essential that we help them, protect them and above all defend them,” added the councilor.
