Half a hundred farmers and producers from 14 municipalities across the island are taking part in this event until tomorrow, Sunday
The 34th edition of the Km.0 Gran Canaria Fair opened its doors today at the Agüimes Exhibition Grounds to promote the primary sector which, as explained by the President of the Cabildo of Gran Canaria, Antonio Morales, during the inauguration, “is key for our territory: to protect the landscape, to generate employment, to eat fresher products, to reduce the ecological footprint and to fight wildfires.”
The President recalled that Km.0 products “meet all the conditions, and guaranteeing spaces like this—where producers can offer their products directly, without intermediaries, and consumers can approach and buy them—represents an important step in the strategy of valuing local products.”
For his part, the Mayor of the host municipality, Óscar Hernández, stated that Agüimes aligns with the Cabildo of Gran Canaria’s commitment to food sovereignty for the island, noting that “supporting Km.0 Fairs and the agricultural and livestock sector is part of improving the landscape and strengthening the population’s connection to the territory.”
Promoted and funded by the Cabildo of Gran Canaria, organised by Infecar – Feria de Gran Canaria, and co-organised by the Agüimes Town Council, this 34th edition brings together 60 stands over the weekend, 58 of which belong to farmers and producers from 14 municipalities across the island. They are joined by the Gran Canaria Me Gusta programme, the Gran Canaria Chamber of Commerce, Turismo de Gran Canaria, and the Canary Institute of Agro-Food Quality (ICCA).
The host municipality, Agüimes, is the one contributing the highest number of exhibitors—ten local producers of wine and cheese, specialists in roasted pork (pata), microvegetable growers, craft beer makers, and representatives of the Salinas de Bocabarranco.
Ingenio and Santa Lucía are present with eight and six producers respectively, expanding the local offering with products such as spices, aloe vera drinks, bread, plants and flowers, honey and olives, as well as a broad selection of cheeses.
The remaining eleven participating municipalities—Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Moya, Santa Brígida, Valsequillo, San Bartolomé de Tirajana, Arucas, San Mateo, Teror, Firgas, Gáldar and Telde—also bring locally produced mushrooms, jams, cane juice, ice creams, juices and pastries, among many other products.
Among the novelties of this edition is the incorporation of Coffee Funghi, a producer from Gáldar whose work is based on a circular economy model focused on revaluing spent coffee grounds collected from local businesses. This material becomes the substrate used to cultivate varieties such as oyster mushrooms, shiitake and lion’s mane, which they sell fresh and as processed products, including an organic coffee produced in collaboration with Café Ortega. The company also offers grow-your-own kits and educational workshops at its facilities to showcase the production process and promote local mycological culture.
The Km.0 Gran Canaria Fair, open from 9:00 to 14:00 on both Saturday and Sunday, stands as an ideal meeting point to purchase high-quality products, support the local economy, and promote sustainability on the island.
