Fruit Attraction 2025: 'The world is our garden'
You can visit the Staay Food Group again this year in Madrid at Fruit Attraction – the international fruit and vegetable fair – from 30 September to 2 October 2025.
Guided by the motto ‘The world is our garden’, the Dutch family-run company will present itself at a new, inspirational stand. The eye-catcher: an LED wall with a brand-new corporate video. The stand also showcases growing locations in the Netherlands, Spain, Costa Rica, and other countries.
Customisation of fruit and vegetables
With 80 years of experience, Staay offers tailor-made solutions for retail, wholesale, food service and processing industries. Staay is a market leader in the production and sale of pineapples, citrus and hard fruits, melons, and stone fruits, as well as leafy vegetables, and field-grown and fruiting vegetables.
Red Conference
Within the hard fruits product group, the pear variety Red Conference takes centre stage in Madrid. Together with pear varieties Early Desire and Dazzling Gold, they form a trio of exclusive Staay club varieties. These three coloured pear varieties have been given a new, recognisable look under the theme ‘Deliciously Dressed’.
Culinary delights
A chef will prepare dishes live at our stand, using pears and other Staay produce such as melons, pineapples, oranges and tomatoes. Staay offers an inspirational look at the versatility of its range.
Visitors are welcome to discover the Staay world of fresh fruits and vegetables, straight from the source!
