The Fruit and Vegetable Retailers’ Guild of Barcelona has remodelled its headquarters, located in the office area of the Central Fruit and Vegetable Market. Through this remodelling project it has improved the layout of offices, expanded its archive and updated furnishings and computer equipment.
On 6 August, Jordi William Carnes, Mercabarna’s chair and Barcelona’s deputy mayor in charge of Finance and Economic Promotion, held a press conference in Mercabarna where among other matters he announced that the fruit offer at the Central Fruit and Vegetable Market increases by up to 20% in the summer months.
Good news for pedestrians who want to enter or depart from Mercabarna via Zona Franca’s Calle F! Since July, two revolving doors have been in operation in Calle Longitudinal 11, providing direct access to Calle F.
José Martín, chair of the National Fruit and Vegetable Retailers’ Federation, died on 27 August at the age of 62.
