The Port consolidates its leadership in agrifood at the Inter-Pyrenean Cereals Exchange
13 Mar
2019

In 2018 the Port of Tarragona handled more than 5.7 million tons of agrifood products and livestock

This Friday, the Port of Tarragona will take part in the Inter-Pyrenean Cereals Exchange in Mollerussa (Lleida), a benchmark meeting point for the sector. The meeting is held during the Sant Josep Agricultural Fair, a centennial event that takes place throughout the weekend. This networking event brings together the representatives of importers, producers, cooperatives, transportation agencies, marketing centres, brokers and users from different parts of Spain and France, as well as other countries.

It is an event with a long tradition (this year will be the 18th edition) in which the participants make contacts and organise commercial exchanges. In parallel to the agricultural and livestock fair, each year an extensive and interesting programme of technical conferences and workshops is organised.

The Port of Tarragona’s objectives at this event are to increase the Tarragona infrastructure’s market quota of agrifood products among the Spanish and Mediterranean ports, to consolidate the Port’s leadership in this sector and to incorporate new bulk products into the traffic structure.

More than 5.7 million tons in 2018

The Port of Tarragona maintains an undisputed leadership in the handling of agrifood products, both in Spain and the Mediterranean, contributing to this economic activity thanks to its specialist services and infrastructures that facilitate the imports.

Agrifood products are one of the most important cargo sectors handled by the Port of Tarragona, both in terms of volume −more than 5.7 million tons last year− and the major facilities and economic repercussions on the area.

Imports that reach an important hinterland

The Port of Tarragona receives agrifood products from the main producing countries, such as the Ukraine, Rumania, Argentina and the United States. They are distributed to an extensive hinterland that includes the whole of Catalonia and Aragon and much of Navarra and eastern Castile, where 40% of all the animal feed in Spain is manufactured.

The products are imported through the Port of Tarragona and from there transported to the areas where the animal feed is produced, including factories in Lleida, Zaragoza, Girona and, to a lesser extent, Soria and Huesca.

The animal feed production companies are located in the Port of Tarragona’s hinterland, specifically in the Ebro Valley and Lleida province. More than 60% of the raw materials used to manufacture cattle feed for Catalonia passes through the Port of Tarragona, the number one port in Spain in the movement of cereals, flours, feed and fodder.
