Excellence in a premier food cluster
Excellence and quality drive the Mercalicante business park, a hub built to showcase the strongest capabilities of the regional agri-food sector and to reflect the keen interest shown in the opportunities this food cluster creates. Located in the province of Alicante, this park has earned recognition for its outstanding connectivity by road, its broad mix of services, and the distinctive business ecosystem it fosters. It is a place where companies from agriculture, logistics, hospitality, and gastronomy converge, creating a vibrant environment that supports growth, collaboration, and efficient supply chains. The park’s strategic position makes it a natural reference point for both local and international players seeking to access the Spanish market and, more broadly, the Mediterranean supply routes that connect farms to forks across the region.
This food cluster offers specialized services for the agri-food, logistics, hospitality, and restaurant sectors. Top-tier operators for fruit and vegetables, meat, seafood, and fish have chosen Mercalicante as their base, complemented by two wholesale facilities that enhance distribution capabilities. The ecosystem is reinforced by a comprehensive set of supply services and products that align with a strong quality-to-price ratio, enabling stakeholders to optimize margins while maintaining high standards. The breadth of activity ensures that everything from sourcing to packaging, processing, and distribution can be coordinated within a single, efficient footprint. The park also accommodates a wide range of vendors and service providers who support daily operations, inventory management, and compliance with evolving market demands, making it a complete solution for businesses aiming to scale and differentiate themselves in competitive markets.
There are operators within Mercalicante that specialize in fourth- and fifth-class products, and spaces such as the Wholesale Fruit and Vegetable Market illustrate the focus on end-to-end market activity. This setup, combined with a dedicated platform designed to streamline the marketing and sale of local produce, reinforces the park’s commitment to sustainable, low-mileage supply chains. The facility ecosystem mirrors a philosophy of zero-kilometer logistics, emphasizing local sourcing whenever possible and ecological practices that reduce environmental impact while supporting fresh, traceable products. In this context, Mercalicante serves not only as a marketplace but as a dynamic agent in the regional food economy, connecting producers, distributors, and buyers in a way that adds resilience and efficiency to the entire supply chain.
