As every year, Murcia will once again take part in BIOFACH, the most important international event for the organic sector, held from 10 to 13 February in Nuremberg, Germany.
Germany, the host country, is the main destination for the organic products produced by our operators, which makes this event particularly significant for our region. With more than 50,000 professional visitors expected and around 3,500 exhibitors, BIOFACH confirms the growing global commitment to sustainability and the continued expansion of the organic food market.
Murcia will once again take part in BIOFACH, the most important international event for the organic sector —Hall 5, Stand 371.
At the stand of Murcia and the Ministry of Agriculture of Spain (Hall 5, Stand 371) five companies are taking part: Citromil, specialising in juices, essential oils, pulps and citrus peels; Bela Vizago Ingredientes Naturales, offering vegetable and essential oils, absolutes and floral hydrolates, resins and oleoresins, dried plants, seaweed and seeds, salts and clays; Riverbend España, which produces organic juices, concentrates, pulps and essential oils from citrus fruits (lemon, orange, clementine and grapefruit); Universal Iberland, a manufacturer of juices, concentrates and essential oils; and Almonds Cremades, producers of organic almonds and processed organic almonds.
Murcia’s Organic Agriculture in Figures
In 2024, Murcia reached over 116,000 hectares of certified organic farmland. Of this total, 5,547 hectares correspond to citrus crops— mainly lemons—4,433 to vegetables (including a broad range of products such as lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, celery, pepper, tomato, etc.), and 1,143 to fruit trees, with apricots, table grapes and plums standing out. Almost all of the 445 companies in Murcia that distribute organic products export them to the EU, mainly to Germany. Agriculture remains a key economic pillar for our region, and organic products continue to gain ground, generating more than 2.5 billion euros in turnover.
CAERM’s Work in Promoting Organic Food
In line with our commitment to promoting organic consumption, CAERM is preparing a full programme of events and activities for 2026. This month, in addition to BIOFACH 2026, where five companies are exhibiting at the CAERM stand, we are launching our charity initiative “Enamorados de las buenas causas” (www.buenospornaturaleza.com).
In April, we will participate in Salón Gourmet in Madrid at the Murcia stand, alongside regional companies showcasing the excellence of their products. We will also host a meeting in Calasparra bringing together operators and chefs to highlight the qualities of organic ingredients.
We will also be present at Fruit Attraction 2026 at the Murcia stand. We remain committed to consumers of organic products and will continue to develop initiatives that bring organic food and its benefits closer to the general public.
Murcia and Organic Production
Murcia has a long tradition of organic farming and has been a pioneer in the production of fruits, vegetables, rice, grapes, almonds, and cereals. These practices began to be implemented on some plots as early as the 1970s. The excellent climate we enjoy and the quality of our soils, combined with the expertise of our farmers, make our region an ideal place for developing organic production.
