The 13th edition of Aquishow Brasil, under the theme From Production to Consumption, is taking place from May 21 to 23 at the Advanced Research and Development Center for Inland Fisheries of the Fisheries Institute, in São José do Rio Preto, São Paulo.
Aquishow Brasil is one of the main aquaculture events in the country and Latin America, integrating segments of the production chain. The event facilitates the presentation of the major trends and innovations in aquaculture with debates and business generation.
In a complex of more than six thousand square meters of constructed area, Aquishow 2024 is bringing together the main brands in the sector and over seven thousand visitors from different Brazilian regions and abroad. According to the organizers, the last edition generated more than R$ 160 million. Aquishow 2024 intends to generate R$ 200 million.
Attendees are having access to discussion panels, meeting rooms, and a food court. Additionally, exhibitors can use five-thousand-square-meter reservoir with net tanks and a showroom, over one hectare, with three types of ponds: excavated, lined, and earthen, which are part of the Fisheries Institute’s structure.
The main focus of Aquishow Brasil is tilapia farming but Marilsa Fernandes, creator and organizer of the event, keeps an eye on other species: "To strengthen a 360-degree view of the socioeconomic development of the sector, we include other production chains such as frogs, alligators, mollusks, and native fish."
The 5th edition of the Aquaculture Innovation Award aims to recognize initiatives that would transform the aquaculture production chain, and promote research and investigation. A total of 25 initiatives have been registered and the categories are:
Academia (universities and research institutes)
Production (fish farming)
Processing/Final Product (companies that produce products used throughout the chain)
Sustainability (public or private sustainable projects and initiatives).
Aquishow Brasil is launched by PeixeSP (Association of Fish Farmers in Paulista Waters and the Union). It is co-organized by the Ministry of Fisheries and Aquaculture, the Fisheries Institute (IP-Apta), an agency of the Secretariat of Agriculture and Supply of the State of São Paulo, and the Municipality of São José do Rio Preto, through the Municipal Secretariat of Agriculture and Supply.
The event is supported by Acirp (Commercial and Business Association of Rio Preto), INNA ImC (Israeli Innovation Institute), Rural Union, Senar (National Rural Learning Service), and Faesp (Federation of Agriculture and Livestock of the State of São Paulo).
