BIOFACH 2013 Impressions

We have compiled a video clip for you with the highlights of BIOFACH 2013.
lessMarkus Arbenz, Executive Director, International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM), Germany
“BIOFACH 2013 has once again shown the global appeal of this event and its power to unite the organic movement. This year’s world-leading exhibition also combined local action with global values. It is the marketplace for people with a variety of interests from Germany and all over the world who practise an alternative to the industrialization of agriculture. At the same time it is the platform for cooperation and coordination, where values and ideas inspire and lead and not hierarchical structures.”
lessPrince Dr. Felix of Loewenstein, President, Bund Ökologische Lebensmittelwirtschaft (BÖLW), Germany
“BIOFACH is gaining a profile as a political gathering in addition to its function as a global marketplace for products, innovations and ideas. You have to come to Nürnberg if you want to have your say. This can be seen from the strong presence of ministers and members of parliament, who used BIOFACH intensively for talks. The key theme of the congress has apparently also hit the nail on the head – as far as can be concluded from the interest shown by the media and the participants at the individual events.”
lessDrd. Ing. Tanasoiu Ionut Cristian, Managing Director, Placerea Naturii, Calimanesti, Romania
“We were a satisfied exhibitor at BIOFACH in 2012, so I was all the more pleased when Romania became Country of the Year in 2013. I am delighted with the aesthetic design of the stands and the ideal illumination of the products. Both contributed to a stronger interest in our bee products and we achieved some successful orders at the exhibition itself. A thoroughly successful exhibition for us!”
lessChieko Watanabe, President, Avanti Inc., Tokyo, Japan
“I have been a BIOFACH visitor for 15 years, but this year was my first time as exhibitor. I found the large Japanese pavilion very attractive. The interest shown in our products was also impressive, and I think more potential is there. But this must grow. I would like a slightly more traditional stand in 2014, so the visitors can experience Japan.”
lessJeramaya van den Sterren, Marketing & Sales, Chocodelic, Amsterdam, Netherlands
“We are very satisfied with our exhibiting activities. Visitors from a variety of countries met on our stand. Their home countries ranged from Russia and Hong Kong to Saudi Arabia. They were all experts with excellent knowledge of raw food – we produce raw chocolate, in which the cocoa beans are not roasted and the chocolate is not heated above 45 degrees. Certainly 70 % visited us for specific purposes – many of them became aware of us through the Novelty Stand. We also managed to gain a number of new customers, retailers as well as wholesale representatives. And we also discovered an interesting supplier from Bolivia!”
lessSimon Tüchelmann, founder, knusperreich, Friedrichshafen, Germany
“Our first appearance at BIOFACH has been excellent. We were simply overwhelmed by the variety of target groups at BIOFACH. They all paid us a visit – from raw material trader to delicatessen retailer. There was a huge interest in our cookies, especially on the part of buyers. It seems to me that the retail food trade wants to pep up its biscuit shelves. Good for us! There will be many talks.”
lessJürgen Würth, Managing Director, and son Robin Würth, Biokäse & Feinkost Würth, Schwabach, Germany
“We have exhibited at BIOFACH for about 20 years. A new feature this year was the special show Experience the World of Cheese, where we organized many tastings and presentations. The special show attracted a super response, with a great rush of activity on the third day of the exhibition. We think the possibility of going into the subject of cheese in depth and being able to enjoy this magnificent product with all senses is a brilliant feature of the Experience the World of Cheese show. All the feedback from our visitors was positive.”
lessAndreas Felsen, coffee roaster and importer, quijote Kaffee, Hamburg, Germany
“I import coffee and have visited the stands of three cooperatives from Honduras, Guatemala and India. I managed to sign and seal an important future cooperation deal at BIOFACH 2013. The exhibition could not have gone better for me. Another highlight was the Coffee Tasting, and I particularly liked the Brew Bar. Until recently, filter coffee was still totally frowned upon, but at BIOFACH you could experience how super this can taste if it is made with high-quality beans and at the right temperature.”
