Mundo Carakuato, El Dulze’s educational videogame, receives an award from the “5-A-DAY” Association.

The “5-A-DAY” Association acknowledges the work carried out by fruit and vegetable companies in the fight against the COVID-19 virus at the 14th edition of the “5-a-Day” Awards.

The situation we are currently experiencing due to the pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus will be very much to the fore at the 14th edition of the “5-a-Day” Awards, organised by the “5-a-Day” Association which was set up to encourage the daily consumption of fresh fruit and vegetables. This edition of the awards will therefore be an even more special occasion, as the organisers are keen to express their appreciation for the steadfast and tireless work of fruit and vegetable companies in spite of the enormous difficulties they have had to face throughout this past year of 2020.

The members of the Association – which is sponsored by Euro Pool System España, Patatas Meléndez, Sakata Seed Iberica and UNIQ and which enjoys the collaboration of Mercamadrid and Fruit Attraction – has already met to choose the winners of the “5-a-Day” awards which will take place on the 10th of March in the assembly hall of the Mercamadrid Administrative Center. This year’s edition will have a hybrid format – the award winners will be able to attend in person, while the other attendees will be able to follow the event via a streaming platform.

On this occasion, in addition to rewarding the commitment of the enterprises that constantly help to put across the Association’s message, those responsible for selecting the award-winning companies wanted to acknowledge the work of all the fruit and vegetable companies that have played a fundamental role in Spain since the onset of the pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus.

El Dulze Growers, SL has won the award for the children’s category with its educational multimedia videogame “Carakuato World”, which has been designed to encourage and disseminate healthy lifestyle habits and to promote healthy living through the consumption of fruit and vegetables.
