Sunday is a day off? Not at Grüne Woche! Today, our 1,400 exhibitors from Germany and around the world are once again welcoming visitors. Yesterday the halls were already well frequented, people were tasting, testing and, of course, buying a little something or two. A special highlight today is the reception of the product royalty at the EventFarm: from the Linden King and the Flour Queen to the German Cherry Blossom Princess and the Heather King - around 100 product royalty will come together in Hall 3.2 at 2 p.m..

The 2024 Agriculture Ministers' Conference in Berlin brought together politicians to discuss key topics such as sustainable agriculture, climate change adaptation and digitalization. The focus was also on promoting regional food production and strengthening rural development. The discussions focused on innovative technologies, increasing efficiency and environmental protection measures. The results are seen as groundbreaking for the future direction of German agriculture by creating a framework for sustainable solutions and ecologically sound development.

Here at Grüne Woche, the Rhineland-Palatinate wine region has set itself the task of bringing even more Rhineland joie de vivre and openness to the world - and it works: among other things through conscious and creative design at the "Wine Cork Upcycling" workshop.

Grüne Woche not only brings food producers together with their customers. It also often leads to collaborations between exhibitors who would otherwise not get to know each other so easily. An example from Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania shows this. An experimental bakery and a gin distillery have jointly created a stollen that guests can sample at the trade fair.

Eastern Europe stands for hearty food. And sausage fans will also get their money's worth in the halls of the Eastern European exhibitors. But there will also be plenty of sweet delicacies to discover in between. Lithuania will entice visitors with hearty meat and dark bread, the Czech Republic will surprise them with insect snacks between bratwurst and beer and Latvia will be bringing midsummer cheese and fish. Estonia lets visitors try strawberry roses and Poland offers mushroom powder, bigos and kielbasa.
