From 12 – 15 February 2020, the “Place To Be” for the international organic sector is Exhibition Centre Nuremberg, when BIOFACH, the World’s Leading Trade Fair for Organic Food, opens its doors again. The annual start-of-year gathering for the sector is set to welcome some 3,500 exhibitors from around 100 countries.
The addition of two extra halls (7A and 3A) means that the next round of BIOFACH has room for even more exhibitors. As a result, there will be an even more diverse range of products on display for trade visitors – as many as 51,488 from more than 140 countries in 2019. Through its congress theme “Organic delivers!”, BIOFACH will put the spotlight on the positive effects of ecological agriculture in 2020. The new special show “All about Water: is the basis of all life endangered?” addresses another highly topical issue.
Good reasons to visit
Once a year, representatives of the entire international organic sector gather at BIOFACH. They come for a whole raft of reasons. They are there to enjoy personal conversations with industry players from more than 130 countries and to discover new markets. Or to discuss the trends and developments in the organic sector and enjoy a feast for all five senses at the Novelty Stand, pavilions for young innovative companies and the tasting zones at Experience the Worlds of OLIVE OIL, WINE and VEGAN. Visitors to BIOFACH get a look into the future of the organic sector – for example at the largest international organic congress that is a permanent feature of the fair – and seize the opportunity to help shape the sector’s current and future policies.
BIOFACH is for trade visitors only. This is the only way to guarantee the calibre of the event as a leading international fair, the quality of the products on display and a successful trade fair visit.
