The craze for local is a basic trend, which is becoming increasingly important. Half of the French population say that they have changed shopping habits or eating patterns over the past three years.

Local favoritism, activism or guarantee of quality, buying as close as possible to producers is strongly supported by consumers, who give pride of place to regional sectors, even beyond the ‘made in France’.

Natexpo is inaugurating the local thematic trail in 2022 to identify professionals combining organic and local. The trade show thus offers people the opportunity to target potential new partners on precise origin criteria to stand out in an organic market which is becoming increasingly demanding on this point. As there is no official definition of “local product” because the notion of proximity is fluctuating according to the regions, the products and the consideration or not of their transformation – the information provided will gather the radius in which ingredients are sourced, the percentage of ingredients from a local supply chain, the place where the product is made and packed, and information on specific labels or regional wording.
