Business associations
Most of the companies in Mercabarna are members of business associations or guilds. In fact, important decisions affecting the working of the Food Unit are always taken jointly by the Mercabarna management and the various business associations. This dialogue and collaboration between the public sector (Mercabarna) and private sector (companies) strengthens the decisions taken and helps ensure their implementation.
