Carmen Sigmund, Brand Manager for Organic at VOG, and Klaus H\u00f6lzl, Head of Sales, at BIOFACH 2026.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>What did you bring this year to BIOFACH?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Organic is an important part of our portfolio. Around 10% of our production surface is organic, which means that we are one of the biggest organic apple producers in Europe, with close to 1,000 hectares. BIOFACH is the main organic fair in Europe, so it is important for us to showcase our products and our presence on the market.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, this fair is dedicated to the organic segment in its entirety. And I would say it&#8217;s an important show. But you see that the people are willing to come to the show. We are also just coming from Fruit Logistica 2026 in Berlin, which is 100% dedicated to fruit and vegetables and, therefore, you see a lot of our customers, whom we have now seen twice in two weeks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you bring back home from these two events, and what&#8217;s your feeling about the market?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Generally speaking, what we see is that the market is different in each single country in Europe. We cannot see a European market or a trend beside that fruit and vegetables, apples, and also organic products are an extremely important part of the purchasing basket of the consumers. Apples are, after bananas, the second most important fruit, actually. Therefore, almost everybody in Europe is buying some apples. But as I said before, the markets are different.<\/p>\n<p>This year, especially in the south of Europe, like Italy and Spain, the market is a little bit better. It&#8217;s similar to last year, with an increase in the purchasing volume. In Germany, with a lot of local products, the market is not so active at the moment. But it&#8217;s still there and it&#8217;s still important. And, of course, we have Scandinavia, the UK, Belgium, and the Netherlands, which are also important markets.<\/p>\n<p>So we see that the market is there, is growing and looking for new products and for a wide range. We are also able to offer a 12-month supply now with different products, with products that last until summer. This is something that we see and want to showcase to our customers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In how many countries is VOG now operating?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We are operating in more than 70 countries on a global scale. In organic it&#8217;s a little bit less, it&#8217;s actually 40 countries on a global scale. It&#8217;s all Europe, a little bit also outside of Europe, especially in North Africa and the Middle East. We do something as well in Asia.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We are also able to offer a 12-month supply now with different products, with products that last until summer.

And so all the new customers are attracted to organic. If you have this organic island aside, those who are looking for organic products go there, hopefully finds the product they are looking for, but you are not attracting new customers.
