MURCIA, Spain s second-largest province in gourmet food exports to the US, continues to shine on the international stage. At the Summer Fancy Food fair in New York, 13 regional companies, supported by the local government, are showcasing their specialties.
Murcia: A Gourmet Powerhouse
Murcia exported €336 million worth of gourmet products in 2023, marking a notable 12 per cent increase from the previous year and securing its position just behind Sevilla in export numbers to the US.
The regional government, through the Institute of Development of the Region of Murcia (Info), spearheaded the participation of these firms at the crucial event. Luis Alberto Marín, the regional Minister of Economy, Finance, and Business, highlighted the American market s appreciation for Murcian quality, evident in an 83 per cent growth in gourmet exports over the past five years. He affirmed ongoing strong support for local enterprises to further expand into this lucrative market.
