The enthusiasm displayed by professionals at this edition offers proof of the primary position that Natexpo now enjoys in annual gatherings dedicated to the organic sphere. Market players from France and abroad and from all backgrounds came to take part in this reference event. From start-ups and new market entrants to traditional players and brands committed to organic, through to major retail brands, everyone made the trip from all over France and from many other countries in the world to discover an all-encompassing view of the latest organic developments, all in one venue. This increase is in line with the change in visitor numbers: 1,800 exhibitors and brands<\/strong> attended this major event for the sector, resulting in 25% more exhibition space being booked compared with 2020.<\/p>\n

At the forefront of new trends<\/h3>\n

This federating event enabled the members of the organic community to come together and exchange in a convivial and human-scale setting, consolidate their ties and begin new projects. Natexpo created business opportunities <\/strong>by making it easier to meet new partners and discover a sector in motion which must response to new consumer demands, oriented increasingly towards products that are locally sourced, anti-waste and ethical. At the show, nearly 1,500 business meeting appointments were held over the three days. By taking part in Natexpo Lyon 2022, the sector\u2019s professionals were at the forefront to decipher the new trends and rise to new challenges in organic. Moreover, the agility and inventiveness of exhibitors were in evidence through the design of their stands and the creative features they put together to introduce their innovations to the market.<\/p>\n

\u00abI always really enjoy coming back to Lyon. Of course, the business atmosphere is a bit more uncertain, nevertheless I find the organisation of the exhibition to be very professional, the presentation is very efficient, so hats off to both the federation and the organisers of the show, because I think that\u2019s the way we should be going. And the profession must also step up to thank suppliers for being there, but also to continue to build these very specific bonds that exist in the organic sector\u00bb, said Benoit Soury<\/strong>, CEO of So.Bio<\/strong> and Bio C\u2019Bon<\/strong>, and head of the organic and local retail market at Carrefour<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
