The event featured around 360 participating companies and occupied 74,600 square meters of exhibition space. The president of the Organizing Committee and mayor of Sariñena, Francisco Villellas, said that the objectives had been met and also highlighted the professional contacts, business deals and exchange of knowledge generated during the fair.
LIVESTOCK REGAINS THE SPOTLIGHT
One of the highlights of this edition was the return of animals and livestock competitions, following the health restrictions imposed in previous years. Among other activities, the Aragonese Chotos Competition and the Pyrenean Mastiff showcase returned, while the auctions also once again attracted interest.
The final day maintained an extensive program, with Lanaja and Alto Gállego serving as the guest municipality and county. Mastiff and sheepdog competitions, agricultural machinery demonstrations, poultry farming activities and culinary events were held. The day also featured the Tribute to the Monegrino Shepherd, which this year went to José Ramón Ambrosa, from Sena.

The institutional event brought together municipal, county and provincial representatives, as well as officials from the Government of Aragon, who stressed the importance of supporting the primary sector and promoting generational renewal.
