BioFach America: Excellent mood and internationality

The international organic sector met again in Baltimore from 20 to 22 September 2012: At BioFach America – All Things Organic and the parallel Natural Products Expo East (see pictures), 21,590 visitors (2011: 19,808) sourced information from 1,550 companies (2011: 1,450), 190 of them in the BioFach America – All Things Organic area. The particularly good response this year might also be due to the excellent development of the organic market in the USA.
 

The organizers of the Natural Products Expo, New Hope Natural Media, sum up the event thoroughly positively: “What I liked most about this year’s BioFach America – All Things Organic was the strong value orientation generated by the organic products presented. Honesty, integrity and solidarity will be important in future to introduce even more consumers to organic products. This year’s exhibitors have also communicated this excellently,” says Erica Stone, Project Manager of the Natural Products Expo.
 

Visitors and exhibitors also benefited from the usual top-class program at the accompanying conference during the exhibition. The presentations by the American Organic Trade Association covered the opportunities on the international organic market, current market figures and an update on the statutory and official framework in the organic sector. The one-day “Organic Summit” organized by New Hope Natural Media took place the day before the exhibition. The mandatory marking of genetically modified food was the subject of intensive discussion at the summit.
