BioFach is the largest organic trade fair in the world. Exhibitors and buyers come from Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, Latin America, and North America to take advantage of this major business opportunity. Over the years BioFach has also established itself as a meeting place for those involved in organics, including traders, exporters, researchers, national movements, consultants, NGOs, policymakers, and development partners. At BioFach 2008 many organizations will join forces to give Africa a more prominent role.

Taste of Africa

At the African Pavilion, visitors will enjoy African designs, colors, sounds and flavours. An African village square in the middle will make the pavilion an oasis, attracting visitors and offering them African coffee, tea, fruits, wine, snacks, and new innovative beverages. In the country or sub-regional stands, exporters, national organic movements, and export promotion agencies will showcase the specialties from the sub-Saharan countries. The pavilion will also serve as a hub of information on activities and services of different importers, trade promotion agencies, consultancies, NGOs and certifiers. It will also offer an opportunity for exhibitors to exchange information and contacts with relevant businesses from all over the world.
