This essential meeting, displaying the latest developments in the organic field, will see a record event in 2017, stepping up in scale. This year’s show will extend over 38% more surface area and welcome 50% more exhibitors than in the last edition in 2015.

With NATEXPO, professionals will have an exceptional opportunity to exchange with experts, discover new products and test the latest market innovations to analyse the best way of developing their business.

A first: all organic sectors represented

For the first time in Europe, a trade show is covering all of the sectors relating to organic. This is therefore a once-only chance for purchasers and decision makers from France and abroad to discover all of the leading innovations of a fast-growing market, in one place.

As a reflection of this vitality, exhibitors have chosen to turn out in force to present their products and know-how in the show’s various sectors: organic food and wine (54% more exhibitors vs 2015), health food and dietary supplements (+22%), cosmetics and hygiene (+64%), household and personal products and services.

This range is enhanced this year for the first time by two new sectors to become all-encompassing: one sector dedicated to ingredients and raw materials and another to services and equipment for retail.
