Equira at Ecuador Agroalimentario 2025
On October 29, Equira participated in the Ecuador Agroalimentario Fair, where we presented the potential of Ecuadorian superfoods and our cluster proposal.
During the event, we welcomed visits from companies in the agri-food sector and key actors across the value chain. Thanks to these conversations, we were able to generate new connections and attract interest from organizations looking to join the Cluster, strengthening our network of companies committed to innovation, sustainability and quality.

Global Growth of Functional Foods
According to Business Research Insights, this sector is expected to grow at an annual rate of 8.83% between 2025 and 2034, reaching USD 552 billion by 2034.
This growth is driven by increasing demand for bioactive compounds such as antioxidants, omega 3, polyphenols and minerals that support immune health and healthy aging; the rise of probiotics and products that improve gut microbiota and the growing interest in plant-based proteins, fiber, and adaptogens that boost energy, focus, and overall well-being.
Benefits of Superfoods: Nutrition and Sustainability
Ecuadorian superfoods such as cacao, chocho, quinoa, amaranth and other ancestral grains have become high-value ingredients due to their superior nutritional density. They provide plant-based proteins, natural antioxidants, fiber, B-complex vitamins, minerals such as iron, magnesium, and zinc, and bioactive compounds that contribute to overall well-being.
These foods not only promote greater energy, digestive health, and a stronger immune system, but also align with global trends toward preventive nutrition and conscious consumption.
Their production is rooted in agricultural practices that support sustainability and responsible soil use. This positions Ecuadorian superfoods as ideal options for markets that prioritize traceability, fair trade and responsible supply chains.
