The next Alimentaria will take place from March 31st to April 3rd 2014 in Fira de Barcelona's Gran Via Exhibition Centre, a week later than initially planned, so it does not coincide with Prowein in Düsseldorf, a direct competitor of Intervin, one of Alimentaria's most important shows. The organisers decided to postpone Alimentaria 2014, which was originally planned for March 24th to 27th. Intervin, which is dedicated to wines and spirits, is Alimentaria's biggest show with 16,000 m2 of stand space. Alimentaria Exhibitions is a partner of Fira de Barcelona in the organisation of food-related events such as Bta.-Barcelona food and beverage technologies, Seafood Barcelona, Alimentaria & Horexpo Lisbon, Alimentaria Mexico in Mexico City, and from September 2013, Alimentaria Brazil in São Paulo. ank
