The Diada d'Agricultura Ecològica (Organic Agriculture Day) is organized by la Asociación de la Producción Agraria Ecológica de Mallorca (APAEMA) and is the largest exhibition and sale of certified organic products in the Balearic Islands. An event that, for eight years, has chosen a specific agricultural theme to open a constructive debate. On this occasion, the motto of the Diada is Water is life.
It is celebrated on Sunday, April 21 in the Plaza de Porreres and adjacent streets, where around 80 exhibitors from all over the Balearic Islands will be presenting ecological and environmentally friendly products from sectors such as food, cosmetics, irrigation systems and renewable energy, machinery and agricultural tools.
