Feria Agroindustrial Bicentenaria

With its rich history and vibrant traditions, Manabí proudly presents the province's largest Agro-Industrial Fair. This event not only commemorates our 200 years of existence and our nomination as a World Gastronomic Region, but also pays homage to the essence of our local production and the indomitable spirit of our entrepreneurs, strengthened through the Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation (CEI). This year, our fair will focus on highlighting the vital role of local producers who transform, add value, and innovate with raw materials from our productive chains. It will be a space where each product tells a story of perseverance and fulfilled dreams. The Fair will provide an ideal environment for establishing strategic alliances, promoting business, and attending conferences led by renowned experts in Manabí’s agro-industrial sector.

The Fair will be held over three days, from November 15 to 17, 2024, at the Manta Cruise Terminal from 10:00 am to 9:00 pm. Five hundred exhibitors from Manabí’s 22 cantons will participate, along with invited guests from across Ecuador. Entrepreneurs will also take part in a Business Roundtable. The following production chains have been prioritized and will be featured at our Fair: coffee, cocoa, citrus, plantains, corn, peanuts, rice, cassava, apiculture, artisanal fishing, meats, dairy products, and cheeses.

Attendees will enjoy keynote talks and conferences, competitions and awards, live cooking demonstrations, cultural and artistic performances, as well as ancient gastronomy in the food court. Highlights will include the Cocoa & Chocolate Festival, a Barista and Coffee Tasting Exhibition, and a Wine Night.

The Bicentennial Agro-Industrial Fair of Manta is celebrated as part of Global Entrepreneurship Week Ecuador and is made possible with the support of the Municipality of Manta, CONGOPE (Ecuador’s Provincial Autonomous Governments Chamber), the Manabí Chamber of Industry and Production, the Manta Port Terminal, and Hotel Oro Verde.
