Expo Concepción opened Monday at the Nanawa exhibition park, marking the first edition of an event that brings together livestock, agriculture, industry, commerce and services in Paraguay’s northern Concepción department.

The exhibition, which runs through Sept. 6, was previously known as Expo Norte. It changed its name this year after the Concepción branch of the Paraguayan Rural Association became the sole organiser.

This first edition of Expo Concepción is not just any fair. It is the living reflection of the effort, resilience and pride of our department.

— Luis Villalba AlvarengaThe expo’s general coordinator described the event at its opening.

“This first edition of Expo Concepción is not just any fair. It is the living reflection of the effort, resilience and pride of our department,” general coordinator Luis Villalba Alvarenga said. He described the event as a showcase for the region and said it would create employment opportunities, stimulate business, encourage investment and link production with wider social development.

It is the showcase where we show the country and the region what we are made of when decent work and a vision for the future come together to demonstrate who we really are: the strength of the North.

— Luis Villalba AlvarengaHe framed the exhibition as a regional showcase for Concepción.

Admission was free on the opening day, courtesy of the Concepción governor’s office. The evening programme included talks on science, animal health and management for the region’s agricultural and livestock future, as well as a university outreach session and a workshop titled “The Language of Affection.”

The schedule also featured a fútbol boi competition, followed by performances from Marce Mora’s musical group, the National Police Symphony Orchestra, Grupo Oasis and local band Los Mocker’s. The next day’s programme included the weighing and admission of cattle and horses for exhibition and competition, further talks and the final of the fútbol boi contest.

Here, employment opportunities are created, businesses are energised, investment is strengthened, and production is integrated with the development of society as a whole.

— Luis Villalba AlvarengaHe outlined the economic aims of the exhibition.
