SUMMARY:BIOFACH
DESCRIPTION:BioFach is the world’s largest trade fair for organic food and agriculture. \nA new date for the biggest gathering of the international organic food community has been set in order to meet multiple requests from registered exhibitors and enable all participants to plan with confidence. The decision to postpone the trade fair pairing and the accompanying BIOFACH Congress this year was taken on a one-off basis in close consultation with the exhibitors. \nBIOFACH and VIVANESS 2022 has been postponed to 26 to 29 July. Several exhibitions and congresses have been held again at the Exhibition Centre Nuremberg since September 2021\, subject to a robust hygiene strategy\, and exhibitors and visitors have responded extremely positively and with a sense of responsibility. Nevertheless\, the current developments in the Covid-19 pandemic are causing uncertainty for many exhibitors at BIOFACH and VIVANESS \nDanila Brunner\, Executive Director BIOFACH und VIVANESS\, NürnbergMesse\, comments: “By postponing the World’s Leading Trade Fair for Organic Food and the International Trade Fair for Natural and Organic Personal Care until summer\, we are accommodating the wishes of a large number of our exhibitors and enabling them to plan with confidence. We are very grateful for the many constructive conversations with sector representatives\, which provided significant encouragement for this decision\, and the impressive commitment they have shown to BIOFACH and VIVANESS.” \nBetween 26 and 29 July 2022\, the trade fair pairing will reflect the entire value chain at the Exhibition Centre and will once again offer unparalleled variety with a rigorously organic focus. It has become established as the annual place to be for the B2B community for organic food products and natural and organic personal care. \nIFOAM – Organics International will contribute to the exhibition as well to the Congress’ content as part of its role as patrons of the event. See you in July! \nRead BIOFACH’s official press release here
