Fundación Semana Verde de Galicia

Fundación Semana Verde de Galicia is a Spanish foundation that organizes the Semana Verde de Galicia, an event linked to the livestock market operations of the Central Agropecuaria de Galicia Abanca. The foundation facilitates the weekly livestock trading auctions that take place at this market, providing a platform for buyers and sellers of animals to conduct their business. By coordinating these auctions, the foundation supports the regional agropecuarian sector in Galicia, helping to maintain the regular flow of livestock commerce. Its activities are centered on ensuring that the scheduled trading sessions can proceed smoothly and that participants receive timely information about market events. The foundation’s role is primarily operational, focusing on the logistical and communicational aspects of the auction process.

The organisation’s headquarters is located in Spain, although the exact city is not specified in the available sources. As a foundation, it operates under a non‑profit structure typical of such entities in Spain, though no further details about ownership or parent organisations are provided. Its distinguishing attribute lies in its specific focus on the Semana Verde de Galicia and its direct involvement with the Central Agropecuaria de Galicia Abanca livestock market, a specialization that sets it apart from broader agricultural associations. The foundation’s notable competency is its ability to manage the coordination of weekly auctions and to disseminate urgent notices to market participants, as demonstrated by its response to the cyber incident. In June 2025, a cyber attack disrupted its operations, leading to the temporary suspension of the scheduled auctions and affecting both buyers and sellers who rely on the weekly livestock trading event. This incident highlighted the foundation’s importance to the market’s continuity and the reliance of the agropecuarian community on its services.
