From May 8 to 10, 2025, Importaco Nuts participated in the INC World Nut and Dried Fruit Congress, the most important international congress in the nuts and dried fruit sector, held at the Palma Convention Center in Mallorca.
Organized by the International Nut and Dried Fruit Council (INC), this annual event is the leading global meeting point for professionals, producers and top companies in the sector. This year’s edition brought together more than 1,500 attendees from over 60 countries, consolidating its position as a benchmark for discussing trends, challenges and opportunities in the international food industry.
A strategic space for innovation, sustainability and international growth
Attending the congress allowed Importaco Nuts to strengthen its international presence, identify opportunities for collaboration and learn first-hand about the main innovations in the agri-food sector, with a special focus on sustainability and efficiency in the global supply chain.
During the conference, key issues such as the evolution of consumption, crop forecasts, adaptation to new regulations and technological advances in production and logistics were discussed.
Sponsorship of the welcome event: international brand visibility
One of the most relevant moments was the official sponsorship by Importaco Nuts of the Welcome Cocktail, the opening event at the congress. This strategic action positioned our brand across all physical and digital graphic platforms, generating significant visibility among global leaders in the nut industry.
Active participation in round tables: technical and commercial vision
Importaco Nuts was also a prominent part of the program through the participation of two of its experts:
Helena Solana took part in the round table about the pistachio market, where she analyzed crop evolution, international logistic challenges and emerging commercial opportunities.
Riccardo Calcagni participated in the panel dedicated to hazelnuts, sharing our experience in traceability, agricultural sustainability and new consumption patterns in Europe and Asia.
Strategic alliances and networking with key players in the industry
During the three-day event, the Importaco Nuts team presented our commercial and logistical proposals to customers, suppliers and potential strategic partners. These meetings allowed us to generate new business opportunities and strengthen key relationships with influential players in the global nut industry.
Conclusions of the congress: market intelligence and the future of the sector
The congress was an excellent source of knowledge on the current state of the nut market, as well as perspectives on innovation, sustainability and international regulation. This information is essential for aligning our business strategies and consolidating a model based on quality, resilience and sustainable development.
Macau 2026: the next stop on the international calendar
Importaco Nuts would like to thank the International Nut and Dried Fruit Council (INC) for the impeccable organization of the event and for its continuous commitment to the promotion of the sector.
We are already looking forward to the next edition of the congress, which will be held in Macau in May 2026, a new opportunity to continue to connect, learn and lead through excellence.
