On Saturday, October 10th, Perpignan Méditerranée Métropole inaugurated the Terroir Primeurs pavilion at the Wholesale Market, located at the Perpignan Exhibition Centre. This event took place in partnership with Cap Sud 66, as part of the 3rd edition of the Regional Agriculture Fair (66), an event dedicated to the richness of local produce and the agricultural know-how of the region.
For three days, the Regional Agriculture Fair highlights producers and professionals from the agricultural sector. The public can discover the diversity of local products, meet those who cultivate and market them, and learn more about their professions and skills. This event aims to promote local agriculture, value proximity produce, and encourage short supply chains, while providing a meeting space for professionals, economic actors, and consumers.
The inauguration of the Terroir Primeurs pavilion, supported by Perpignan Méditerranée Métropole and Cap Sud 66, is part of the dynamic of promoting agricultural sectors and local products. This highlight underscores the importance of the Wholesale Market in exchanges between producers and professionals, as well as in the distribution of fresh produce, thereby contributing to the vitality of local agriculture.
The ceremony was attended by Louis Aliot, president of Perpignan Méditerranée Métropole and mayor of Perpignan, Nicolas Barthe, vice-president in charge of the Wholesale Market and mayor of Toulouges, and Alain Cavalière, community councilor and elected official in Perpignan. Numerous other elected officials and agricultural sector stakeholders were also present.
Through this inauguration and its participation in the Regional Agriculture Fair (66), Perpignan Méditerranée Métropole reaffirms the importance of agriculture and proximity circuits for the economic development of the territory.
