FEAGA 2010 Exposition In Pozo Negro Fuerteventura
FEAGA 2010 Exposition In Pozo Negro Fuerteventura
The annual FEAGA exposition took place this last Thursday to Sunday in what is a now familiar location off the main road from Caleta de Fuste to Jandia at the Pozo Negro junction. This year the Island had a lot to celebrate and show off both in terms of its local agricultural and homestead businesses and the UNESCO biosphere accreditation.
The site was divided into numerous areas encompassing livestock, dairy, meat and wine products, local business suppliers, show areas for live demonstrations including rescue dogs and horse showmanship, and a tented eating facility. The variety of stalls was particularly staggering with each producer keen to impress and win over custom with tempting cheeses, wines and never ending tit bits.
Business suppliers were also keen to show and explain their services offering solar power solutions, agricultural machinery, animal feed, water source solutions and other services. Chris Minty from Fuerteventura Spas was on hand to demonstrate his wide range of Spas and property management solutions as well as taking local BBQs to the next level with the Boretti range of gas BBQs. Udo Abraham was also on hand to demonstrate the AGCOR watering concept for domestic and agricultural use that uses 100% recycled rubber tyres to produce a ‘leaking membrane’ tubing system that ensure no wasted water by evaporation.
Fuerteventura’s Cabildo put on a 3 screen visual video display showing the variety of the Islands landscapes and a presentation of the future land use program to ensure the conservation and preservation of Fuerteventura’s unique natural resources now that the Biosphere accreditation has been awarded.
The show is not just for buyers of agricultural equipment, in fact it is designed to bring awareness to the variety of products and services offered in Fuerteventura and the live shows make for an entertaining day out. The pebbled beach of Pozo Negro also provides an ideal family stop with two fantastic sea side restaurants looking out over a naturally sheltered cove. The winding road to the beach also passes an interpretation centre in La Atalayitas which explains the unique volcanic nature of this part of the Island.
