Canary Islands agri-food sector wins 57 medals at CINVE 2026, showcasing Fuerteventura product
The agro‑food products of the Canary Islands have once again stood out on the international stage, securing a total of 57 medals at the 22nd edition of the International CINVE 2026 competition, which featured close to 1,000 samples from various countries. This achievement represents a 39 % increase over the previous edition and confirms the sector’s strong momentum across the archipelago.
Although the majority of the awards went to wine productions, the recognition also shines a light on the entire primary sector, with a notable impact on islands such as Fuerteventura, where the quality of local products continues to gain visibility both inside and outside the territory.
“These prizes place Canary products again among the best in the world, highlighting the sector’s ability to turn the challenges of insularity into differentiators of quality and authenticity,” said Narvay Quintero, Councillor for Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Food Sovereignty of the Government of the Canary Islands.
In total, the Canary Islands earned 21 Grand Gold, 29 Gold, and 7 Silver medals across categories that include wines, spirits, cider, vermouth, and oil. These accolades reflect the talent and professionalism of producers, as well as the added value of products closely tied to the territory.
For Fuerteventura, participation in contests like CINVE reinforces the projection of its local offerings, especially in the agro‑food arena where majorero cheese, emerging wines, and other productions are solidifying their reputation as quality benchmarks within the archipelago.
The Government of the Canary Islands emphasizes that these results arrive in a highly competitive context, strengthening the commitment to promote and market Canary products in both national and international markets.
The awards ceremony will take place on 21 May in Madrid, where the Grand CINVE honors—awarded to the highest‑scoring entries in each category—will also be announced.
With this new recognition, the Canary agro‑food sector, and particularly that of Fuerteventura, continues to consolidate its prestige, betting on quality, innovation, and deep ties to the land as the core pillars of its identity.
