Mercoagro 2028 in Chapecó: where to stay

MERCOAGRO is Latin America's leading meat industry trade fair, hosted in Chapecó, the core of the agro-industrial cluster in western Santa Catarina. The 2028 edition brings together meat processors, ingredient and additive suppliers, equipment manufacturers, packaging and refrigeration companies, industrial automation providers, logistics operators and sanitation and effluent treatment services. The show takes place at Parque de Exposições Tancredo Neves, in the Efapi district, with themed pavilions and live demonstrations. Beyond the commercial exhibition, the programme features technical sessions, business matchmaking and regulatory updates for the animal protein chain. Attendance is trade-only: industry buyers, plant managers, technicians and distributors from the meat and dairy sectors. The fair also highlights Mercoagro Lácteos, dedicated to milk and dairy processing, a fast-growing segment in Brazil. For visitors travelling from other regions, Chapecó offers hotel capacity concentrated downtown and around the airport, with daily connections to São Paulo and other state capitals. Booking early is essential during the show dates.
