Tridge summary

After two years holding the traditional Garlic fair at the Zamora fairgrounds, this important event is being held again in the place where it has always been held, the Tres Cruces avenue in the capital. It is done within the fairs and festivals of San Pedro on June 28 and 29.

On this occasion the fair will only have 87 stalls occupied by the same number of producers, a figure much lower than in other years. In 2019, before the pandemic, 198 producers and 326 stalls attended. Mainly, the drop in garlic stalls is due to the fact that "many of the ajeros sell their product from home and no longer come to the fair, but there are also fewer producers because they are getting older and have no replacement and, on the other hand, they It has opted to do what has been done during the two years of the pandemic, which was to give each producer a position instead of requesting several positions that were smaller, ”says Óscar Rojo, head of the Agricultural Department of Caja Rural de Zamora. Precisely Rojo said that there are many producers who have planted more than one hundred hectares of garlic to sell directly to the industry.
