The Biofach and Vivaness trade fairs took place in Nuremberg from 14 to 17 February. The trade fair duo attracted almost 36,000 trade visitors from 135 countries, who were able to find out about the latest developments in the industry at the stands of the 2,765 exhibitors from 95 countries.
Tina Andres, Chairwoman of the Board, German Federation of Organic Food Producers (BÖLW): „We are in the midst of a turning point and a multi-crisis: whether energy, climate or species crisis, we need to find the right answers now. And organic provides immediate, functional and forward-looking answers for a socio-ecological transformation and thus an agricultural and food sector that is fit for grandchildren within the planetary boundaries. With its motto Paving the Path, Biofach is leading the way as the world's leading trade fair for organic food, setting the tone and anchor for the entire industry and characterising the guiding principle. This is where innovative and committed entrepreneurs and visionaries with a clear focus on 30 per cent organic in 2030 meet and network and show with positive, powerful examples how we can shape the future differently.“
Petra Wolf, Member of the Management Board, NürnbergMesse: „Biofach and Vivaness are not only back in February, but over the past four days have impressively underlined their role as an international industry gathering and the start of the year. Full of vigour and with strategies for the future, the players presented themselves here in Nuremberg. It is deeply touching and also fills me personally with great joy to see the positive atmosphere in the halls. It is remarkable how diverse, inspiring, solution-orientated and forward-looking this industry is. Organic is here to stay and organic is the future!“
Congress also well attended
A total of 120 expertly organised individual sessions at the accompanying congress with almost 8,000 participants once again made it a forum for the future of the industry. In addition to the main topic „Organic. Food sovereignty. True prices“ with up to 125 listeners and panellists at the individual events, the focus was primarily on questions relating to current market developments and trends as well as the political and legal framework. The event on the international market situation „Global Organic Market Overview“ in the Biofach Forum was the best attended with 242 participants in 2023.
At the trade fairs, around one in four also made use of the digital event platform. The majority of them were hybrid participants. They were on site, but also used the platform before and during the trade fair. The content of the congress is still available afterwards.
Biofach and Vivaness 2024 will take place the next time from 13 to 16 February 2024 in the Nuremberg Exhibition Centre.
