  • With approximately 2,600 exhibitors and 45,000 expected visitors, BioFach 2008, the World Organic Trade Fair and the organic world’s most important get-together, will set the scene for top quality food and carefree consumption.

BioFach, which takes place in Nürnberg from 21st to 24th February, has another highlight lined up for 2008 – the new Wine Hall 4A. This puts organic wine in the limelight and the culinary event worlds in the Wine Hall have some real organic treats in store for visitors.

The wine exhibition set a record in 2007 with some 300 exhibitors from 13 countries. The 2008 vintage is now preparing to topple this record again with growth estimated at more than ten percent. The wine hall celebrates the enjoyment of organic wines! Exhibitors and visitors experience the international spectrum of organic wines all in one hall in a feel-good daylight atmosphere.

Vivaness, the Trade Fair for Natural Personal Care and Wellness in hall 7A and part of hall 7, celebrates its first birthday in 2008. BioFach’s lovely daughter became fully fledged in 2007 and is thriving and growing splendidly. It listed 161 exhibitors right from the start in 2007 – 70 % growth over the previous year.

The main product group at BioFach is clearly organic food, supplemented with natural products and products for organic agriculture and marketing. The exhibitors present organic products ranging from raw materials, fruit, vegetables, meat, dairy products, baked goods, drinks and convenience products, with an additional 231 exhibitors offering delicatessen products at BioFach 2007. Besides Germany with 76 exhibitors, Italy was represented particularly strongly with 43 exhibitors. The visitors could also source information about the specialities offered by exhibitors from countries such as Spain, France, the Netherlands and Austria. The delicatessen segment at BioFach also includes fish and seafood, spice and salt specialities, fine Italian food such as pickled antipasti or olive oil, vegetarian spreads and tofu specialities, as well as fine chocolate and truffles.
