According to the organizers, in Nuremberg, participants from the entire value chain of the organic production area, 2,550 international exhibitors from 94 countries are presenting their extensive range of products at BIOFACH and VIVANESS 2024.

Among them are Romanian processors and producers, as well as the association Bio Romania, led by Mr. Marian Cioceanu.

Many Opportunities

In Nuremberg, participants along the entire value chain will experience the organic community in action. The latest burning issues affecting the sector will be discussed in the exhibition halls and in two congresses. The BIOFACH Congress focuses on the theme "Food for the Future: Women's Impact on Sustainable Food Systems".

There are also plenty of opportunities for trends and innovations in the support program and on the exhibition floors. This year's BIOFACH will present two sector trends, "Holistic.Climate.Regeneration" and "Personal and Planetary Health", as well as four product trends: "Sweet Soulfood", "Transparency", "Mushroom Mania", and "Clear-Headed Joy". VIVANESS will highlight sector trends "Lifestyle & Identity" and "Be Community", and product trends "Fresh Around The Clock", "Sensory Beauty", and "Empower Your Beauty".

"Especially in turbulent times like these, it is even more important to come together and initiate dialogue. We look forward to welcoming the organic community to BIOFACH and VIVANESS on-site and online and to provide a platform for these vital exchanges. Here we can work together to pave the way for a sustainable future," explains Petra Wolf, Member of the Executive Board, NürnbergMesse.

"The diverse forums and extended support program will offer more capacity than ever to explore trends, challenges, and bright spots in the sector, as well as examples of best practices. For example, at the new HoReCa - GV & Gastro1 or SustainableFutureLab forum," Wolf continues.

"We would like to thank all exhibitors, visitors, and participating media professionals, as well as our partners IFOAM - Organics International, BÖLW, COSMOS, and NATRUE. The fantastic response shows how important this annual gathering of the global community is for the sector!"

BIOFACH 2024 Trends

This year, the BIOFACH trend jury has defined global industry trends for the first time, in addition to product trends. These highlight the broader issues currently dominating the organic food sector, while product trends result specifically from new products showcased at the fair.

The two industry trends reveal a clear trend of reshaping the food system in favor of the planet - from agriculture (Holistic.Climate.Regeneration) and consumers (Personal and Planetary Health).

Once again, product trends cover a wide range of categories. There is something for everyone, from sweet organic products (Sweet Soulfood) and transparent supply chains (Transparency) to different types of mushrooms (Mushroom Mania) and alcohol-free alternatives to wine, beer, and spirits (Clear-Headed Joy).
